At Cellis' memorial service a couple months ago I was wonder-struck as I looked around at Cleveland's distinguished Reggae Alumni, who had turned out to honor our fallen Bredren, and it occurred to me that there is a very real need for a documentation of Cleveland's reggae family tree and lineage. That story simply can NOT be allowed to fade into obscurity. I feel it is just as much a part of our city's musical legacy, and history in general, and it can't be taken for granted. It is my intention to somehow collect, organize and assemble as much of and as many details as I can gather about how and where it all started, where it has come and who was involved. I am looking for anyone and everyone who has an interest in this project to contact me and send me band names, personnel lineups, pictures, stories, articles, flyers, songlists, setlists, discographies, chronologies, personal recollections - anything that pertains to reggae music in Cleveland, and will accept any help in putting this thing together. Perhaps we'll eventually have a book or at least a comprehensive online archive that anyone can reference to be able to see the whole picture and put it all into perspective. I think it's time we preserve this story for future generations to know how much a part of Cleveland's story reggae music has been over the years, do you agree?

Chapters/categories could be as follows, for example:

How and When It All Began
The Jamaican Community
Reggae Begins To Rock
The Cleveland Scene
The Akron Scene
The Columbus Scene
The College Circuit
The Clubs
Radio Shows/ Djs
Festivals
International Artists Who Played Cleveland
The Evolution of Reggae Music
Holding On
Fiya Burning - The Rennaisance
Forward Ever

I'm sure as this progresses and as more people add to it, it will become quite extensive and multi-faceted. It is a project I will enjoy as much as I have enjoyed playing the music over the years, and I look forward to working with you all. I think it will be a great tribute to those Brothers and Sisters who are no longer with us, and to all those who have given of their love and God-given talent to keep the reggae fire blazing and keep us dancing and feeling IRIE! 
It's all about the Positive Vibration,
SEEN?
With love and respect,
