Never gotten around to attending any SNWF shows-but have been to and worked at a few Reggae on the River shows when i lived in Trinidad and Eureka up in N. Cali...I'm going to have to put the NS shows on my to-do list for the near future... Thanks for sharing

I've always meant to make it to one of those shows, so we'll see how this year goes - but good to know Luci is back in NoCal - has it really been 4 years since he's played in California?
All I know is that Toots at the Marin County Fair was off the hook and FREE with the $10 admission to the fair...
