A rare and welcome day off! An opportunity to practice, watch TV or a movie…possibly speak to the folks at home, or write that letter you keep promising…and for all a chance to quietly marvel at the magnitude of this blessing: life, good health, the opportunity to do what we love most, and to do it alongside the Burning Spear!
Quiet time on the road is hard to come by; there's so much to do so much work related stuff to think about…parts to fine-tune, new parts to learn, the constant effort to expand, get better on your instrument. To use the name of the Jimmy Stewart movie: "It's a wonderful life." But it's not easy! Jah work must be done… But even the most fun loving children must eventually give their bodies a rest. As James would say, "You have to give the battery a charge."
A couple of the guys went down the street to Zephyr, where we play tomorrow. They wanted to hear the band that plays tonight…I'm so tired, I don't remember the name of the band. I guess James or someone will tell me. I wanna hear how they were.
