After a rare short drive from Arcata, the tension level is noticeable less; it seems people are starting to digest the reality of things in this world in a different way. You can feel a new quiet kind of awareness of our blessings in such troubled times. It seems that the message is arriving to everyone in just the nick of time.
Burning Spear's arrival is a major event for everyone. There are people who missed the show the last time we were in town and have decided not to let that happen this year. There are of course, the die hard fans who wouldn't miss it for the world, and then there are the first timers. Everybody seems to be out for this one. Burning Spear and his Burning Band will not disappoint them. Mr. Rodney has prepared something special for the people here. Another day of counting blessings, and preparing to do Jah's work. The music is in the message…the message is in the music.
