When I lived at Carib Ochi in Ochi Rios they were completely renovating a resort there into condos . The company I worked for knew the owner so we got the only condo finished so it was us and the workers . This is in the timeline that Byron Lee was helping all these upstart bands and he arranged to use the bandstand as a practice set up .We , as in us and the workers , got tons and tons of free jams/practice from the likes of The Wailers , Freddie MacGregor , Black Uhuruh , and many many more .Looking back on it now what a fantastic time that was for us . We talked to these guys all the time .You could tell that Bob Marley was different than the rest . Thinking now about it all I can say is " WOW ".
