Warehouse Value/Bob Marley/Turn of the Millenium

When I was in a band during 2000, with Chris. Rob and Zach,
we watched the Bob Marley documentary many times, and I had
a lot of stuff taken from my house as well as noise complaints. 
Chris took a bass and paid for it, so no real thefts are contributed
to him as opposed to the other two, but during the court case for
the noise complaints, a cop from my step fathers band who borrowed
a book on African drumming said we were credible and we weren't
found guilty because I was sound proofing a garage, and he also
was borrowing a book on African Drumming that he never returned
throwing me into a world of greater appreciation for that particular
music, after the band broke up. 

I found a 16 track CD burner at a garage sale enabling me to
restore a lot of the music from that period on, so it's not necessarily
music that belongs to anyone.  I wouldn't argue that any of it was
mine, the noise on the cassettes isn't mine, but the whole process of
filming and restoring the demo's on to CD was kind of an escapade
that falls under the category of being a film more so than a music
composition.  I don't lean on any of the songs that were written and
may have left one or two songs on Myspace that were under file
names that were 1-100, not labeled properly, that I never took down,
and I also created a You Tube account under that name, which was
mysteriously contributed to ambitious marketing ideas.

That instance was during an era of sleep deprivation when I made
that in which high school kids repeatedly had loud parties on the
neighbors patio that was above another structure and built without
necessary permits, so I was very dissoriented during some periods
of 2010,2011, and we were ultimately forced to call to have these
parties broken up, and the video's are the first thing that appear on
that channel, of me telling the kids to go home at a very late hour.

So, I don't know why their is a lot of legal scrutiny by him on that,
and I feel that he has a line of reasoning that sets him up for pain 
because I only adhere the frequent showings of being in a band that
frequently reviewed the footage of Hallie Sellasies arrival in Jamaica,
in conjunction with another book besides the African Drumming
entitled "Rastafarianism', Roots and Ideology, that accenuated a lot
of the climaxes thru first hand interveiews witih W. Indian inhabitants
during that era, giving me a specifically sophisticated grasp of the
various details and nuances of that era, from the perspective of
a read author/

Misdirected associations of African/Jamaican culture, and the
behavioral characteristics may be experiences by people who don't
have a deep appreciation or interpretation of the study, and I am
more than happy and feeling well about letting go of that band but
since the greater interest is derived from seeing the footage of the
pivitol things that comprise the foundation of the Rastafari movement
I am reluctant to dissuade study of the factors that comprise the
music, without the disclaimer: 'oh, I would rather shy away from the
legal zoom, because with all of the ridiculous attention I had paid to
my work, forcing me to resort to fiction, and not being too personal
with anyone, that Facebook offered me associations with, I would
advice against appreciating Chris's music, because of the f act that
he referred to "The Healing Drum" as being something that didn't
pertain to the marketing success in a dance community,

Africa is a dance community in and of itself and the idea of
making it a priority to delve into that as a conversation topic is
daunting, because their are people who might try to be dismissive
of the fact, that laws and ownership oif audio tracks is more logical
to have done than actually learning about music.  We start bands
at early ages, we write the music by ourselves, and than a friend
gets a book about some remote part of W. Africa where theirs a
village who would rather have the kids stay out of school and learn
from information passed down from generation to getneration,
and all of a sudden je (me) falls out of the guild of musicians who
knew each other, get's famous in another part of the world (hawaii)
and shoots himself in the foot, since solidifying the various
components of reproach situations would consequently give
people the idea that they should make up their own minds about
someone before meeting them.

I don't necessarily believe it's a no win situation with him if one
could primarily tackle the factors at hand, as saying, I am someone
who is merely against the way things are done within this guild and
that simply because I am not a Hip Hop artist doesn't automatically
make me suit3ed to join a punk or a ska band, their are components
of African music that are all rhythm, conga's, djembe's, baffalons,
stringed instruments, flutes, aetc, that I like to use, but also I seem
to allocate the journey that I embarked upon, regarding my refusal
to identify with the immaturity of the musicians guild, due to their lack
of appreciation of the music that was seemingly thrust upon me at
an early age, from Earth Wind and Fire, and Prince.

I didn't like the lack of appreciation that came from them or the
lack of sympathy that I felt was deserved for assimilating them into
my own way of being.  I was never glorified for that, by anyone who
could have got me anywhere in the music industry, just people who
witnessed it, or hung around me during that time. 

A lot of the present struggles we experience in the present day
were caused by them pulling at me, as though I knew something
about music, but I was never there with them, listening to the music
my step fathers band played, so they didn't know about the vantage
point that I was coming from, when I was in the area, in the place
close to the projects, I was still playing guitar, and I broke up my
band, after they resorted to stealing guitars and not giving me
the money for them (like Chris paid for the bass guitar he broke
at a friends house)

The vantage point was a lack of photography, and the things
that alienated the people I jknew was that their was not a lot of
pro-active investments going on.  Like, "are you going to invest
in the band that you are in", so "yes' I aaid to myseolf naturally,
except, at that point, I bought a trampoline, a video camera, some
swords, stuff like that.  I also got into buying stuff from a part of
the world where theirwere drastically more severe sentences for
about 30 cents worth of drugs.  So I began to import those nuances
and use that to separate me from the unseen forces that5 were there
with the intolerance for that, the trends began with video camera's
but after refusal to participate thinned out, I began to collect things
from Singapore and thailand and renoucne my affiliation with
drugs.
