9. We have on Irie FM and they're interviewing

folks up at the Marley Museum (not far from here). One man came from Boulder, Colorado just for the weekend of celebrations.

I plan to go there next week to see if they can tell me whether Obama's visit there has led to an increase in visitors. It's amazing how many folks we see walking up Hope Road to the Museum but we don't know their nationalities.

Irie has live coverage from the Museum.

12. Thank you!

I love cultural institutions. They're treasure houses for discovery.

I will bookmark and learn...

PS: Remember last summer, I think, you and posted about a music festival? You recommended a web site to learn more about the artists.

I've been searching and searching, and I can't find the link. Do you still have it? There was a reggae guy performing who you mentioned as an up-and-comer. I wanted to thank you for telling me about it.

I saw The Wailers at a Santa Monica Pier concert once, but I never got to see him.
