Music...

When I moved to Jamaica and began to learn the culture, language, and the ways of Jamaica, I found the best way to learn was through the music. Jamaica is a culutre that is rich with music. The birthplace of Reggae, it has a concentrated amount of talent that I believe exists in no other country. I began to learn the language throught the music. I learned alot of the nuances of the culture through the music as well. To this day aside from IHOP there are no songs that can move me like some of the ones from my favorite Jamaican artists. Buju Banton. A wordsmith like no other. My favorite song that Buju does is called Untold Stories. Listen to it and you cannot deny the God given talent... it is a timeless story...

Guitar Maker

I have a friend in the Lord who I have known for many years. He has been a worship leader for over 20 years. God has blessed him with an incredible talent. He makes guitars. He has made acoustic guitars, as well as a bass guitar for his son, and a fretless bass for another bass player at our church, What is so amazing to me is the sound that they make. It is such a pure sound. If you are a guitar player (or bass player) I would highly recommend checking out one of his guitars. Here are some pictures of the first guitar he made for himself.
His name is Luke Anderson and if you are interested in him making a custom guitar, or bass for you, please email me and I will have him contact you. My email address is: JAHdawtah1@gmail.com
