This a dream match up

These are two musicians on the planet who shared musical experience{s} with the musical guru Jackie Mittoo

 Come listen to how that story went for both

Carl Harvey has been on tour with Toots Hibbert aka Toots and the Maytals for over forty years now, brother to Rupert Harvey of Messenjah, where Carl has produced a few of their albums as well as played live at times with the band and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience

Dr. John Jason Wilson, a professor at Guelph University and a musical veteran in this city `trained` with Jackie Mittoo from about the age of fifteen years old and has produced albums and gigging for over forty years himself

These two have wanted to work a Feel Reggae Seminar together since I mentioned it to them

There will be a few mentions of Jackie as well as all kinds of talk of jazz, funk ska, rocksteady and reggae

I am eternally grateful for this opportunity to have two people on the planet who can speak from actual experience cause there were there when it was done

There is a change of time for this event to 7:00pm – 9:00pm

There will be several performances

One of the reasons I love Jason Wilson is his ability to go back DEEP into the history of reggae and touch a Skattalites track, aided by Sunray Grennan on drums and Michael on bass
 Here is Toots with Carl and the rest of the band on the Jimmy Fallon Show last year
Here is Carl at a Feel Reggae session throwing down a version of Jimi Hendrick's, Voodoo Child

Grateful that a positive energy of RasTafari was able to shine in Toronto for a split second

Bob Marley performed in Toronto three times I think but I saw only two of them.  The last one at Maple Leaf Gardens

RasTaman lit up a hockey arena that night

Torontonians like me, still brag about that last concert in 79

They lit up the lights at Nathan Phillips Square red, gold and green

Ites up to Jason McLean of Torontoreggae.ca who requested it

Grateful for those who came by and by all those who shared and fulljoyed the process

It was Robert Nesta’s earthstrong yet I send a love to Peter and Bunny also as I know we all feel that

Garry Lowe passed last year and his RasTafari energy affected rock and roll in Toronto and Canada

It is always a blessing and a source of pride to see one of Haile Selassie I greatest warriors, when 38 years after his death, his energy and conviction as a spiritual warrior, has a major city like Toronto, shining the colors of RasTafari on his birthday

Those two examples plus many others show me what the love of RasTafari can accomplish

Big love to all who came out to the first ever time the powers of RasTafari was shone out to the world from Toronto, Canada

I am eternally grateful to those who showed and to all who still monitor and show pride in this energy

RasTafari blessings to the world family
