He would have been Sixty eight today, and the world would have been a better place in at least that respect.

Thanks for sharing QITNL, that sounds amazing... when you see something and just know you are witnessing magic, love it-really wish I could have seen him live... And then you worked with those other musicians later? What sort of work? Very cool industry to be involved in...

Wow, QITNL, fascinating. We had tickets to see BMW at red rocks in that next tour. On the drive from Laramie the show was canceled because Bob had broken his foot. The begining of the end, as that was the first manifestation of the cancer that took him.

That was one of my big 'just missed' shows I wish had worked out. Another was Jimi when I was fourteen. That one I was too young to know what I as missing. By the time of the Wailers I had least a pretty good idea of what I might have experienced.

I did get to see Miles Davis in the Celebrity in Phoenix the year before he died. As much as I had listened his music for years before, I could not have been prepared for the way my mind and psyche was opened.

Jay, I was so fortunate to be able to see Marley and the Wailers twice in concert, both in Boston. Both great events but the first one was mind-blowing - held at an old Boston Club called Paul's Mall. This would have been 1975, I think. Tiny venue with little cocktail table seating. Back when the drinking age in Massachusetts was still 18. Me and my friend Laura had a table one row from the stage. Unforgettable!

Happy birthday Bob!

Given his continued influence around the world, could you imagine what he would have achieved if he were still with us? It's mind boggling.
