Sharleen ,that is 100% true !!!!!!!!!!! and if it wasn't for Byron Lee he would not have had the chance either.This is when I lived in Ochi Rios at the Carib Ochi and they had a bandstand there.This was closed down to be made into condo's and we had the only one because the others weren't finished BUT Bob and the band would practise there and we had PLENTY !!!of private concerts.Toots would practise there,Gregory Issacs,Freddy MacGregor,Black Uruhuru would practise there,Burnin' Spear would be there because they would all be playing at The Little Pub owned by Byron Lee.None of these bands were known off the island then,or if known it was by a very few.THIS !!!! is the time that the reggae bands should have "caught on" that the rest of the world had cocerts where the headliners came on before 4:00AM.It went right over their heads.In my humble opinion to be a fan of reggae music it was to listen to records because if not you would have to cut your work week down to the 3-31/2 days like the locals because you couldn't be at the concerts and at work at the same time.Non comformity sometimes doesn't do anyone favours.
