Terrible news. Loved his style. Donated some guitar strings in January. R.I.P. Stephen.

The lead singer and guitarist for the Roots Vibration Band, and our personal friend, Stephen West passed away last night.

Some of you may know him as Jimmy James, and many of you know him from the Seastar Inn Saturday night shows and webcasts.

No words can suffice for what we are feeling - we will miss you man!

It is with a heavy heart that I celebrate the life of Stephen West. I got to know Stephen pretty well during several stops in Negril and when he gave me a copy of his album, I had a new favorite group of songs. I have been singing this song all day today with a tear in my eye. As the song say, "Respect one another.".

So many good people have come and gone.

Respect

He was a good guy and I am so sad about this. When we would talk about musicians, if he was talking about someone he thought was good he'd say "dat guy-professional." Well that guy was professional and I will miss him. RIP.
