It was nice seeing Knoxley again. I really like that guy. He plays keys in the band and sets up to the right of the stage, near the couch area that Charlie has cardoned off as his special VIP area. I explained to Knoxley that with his amazing talent combined with his ability to learn songs without music -- plus his young, good looks -- that he could be a star in the Los Angeles music scene. I think I might have even thrown out the word "millionaire," but I meant it. Steven West, too. If the masses ever got ahold of that guy, he would be a big star, I have no doubt about that. But there is only one Bob Marley, and Jamaica is a lot further from the real music industry than a short plane trip from Miami.
God I wish I owned a record company. I would only take fifty percent and would be able to pay for every trip I ever took to Negril times 10.
in some ways it's sad that artists this talented can't reach more people. We can cherish the fact we can enjoy them all to ourselves, and I'm just privilaged every time I see Steven West and the others perform. They're always great. The drummers are good, too. I liked 'em better with Francine in the band, but hey I am biased.
