Love the Life You Live & Lead the Life You Love (from our Midnite friends) See you there! The REAL New Years Party - Saturday, January 3, 2004. If you go to only one show or one party or one concert in 2004, this is the one! The Ashkenaz is a place where everything is beautiful. It is a concert hall / community center / dance hall / night club and it has been supporting the finest causes of life and earth for over 40 years. It also has a performance grade wooden dance floor that makes even this keyboard feel like it can dance. RAW people - no matter where you live, please make your arrangements now to be part of this New Year Celebration/Reggae Latin Explosion with Dubwize, Firme, and special guest Spliff Skankin' - literally, the world's greatest Reggae DJ. It is huge that Spliff Skankin' has accepted our offer to be part of the show and MC the entire evening's event. Just his acceptance of our offer and his enthusiasm for Dubwize, RAW and you (Dubwize fans) is a life's thrill. He has been amongst us at previous concerts we learned, and he is the very real thing, and that he is excited about Dubwize and the feeling amongst Dubwize fans is such an incredible complement to us all. Come literally at 8pm, when the doors open so you can settle in and hear his complete one hour set of Roots Reggae Music from 8:30pm to 9:30 pm. That alone is a very special event. Then its Firme, who truly stole hearts at the Catalyst, when they performed at the Night After Thanksgiving Concert. And on this night, they will follow Spliff and open the live music for 2004. Reggae / Salsa. Four National Tours and winners of the California Music Award. And then Dubwize, as you may have guessed. Dubwize is promising a big surprise for this evening. Don't know if it is a new drumming Batucada that will bring out the savage in the most timid of us, or new original Dubwize songs, or a Gorilla dropping down in a cage, but they are very motivated and smiling, so get ready. The Ashkenaz has broken the rules for this evening and is opening their doors an hour early, unprecedented, so that this complete New Year Celebration can take place. Come early, stay as long as you can and bring every person that you care about, including yourself. Together, we will improve the earth and make it smile on this day and carry the joy with us to others for 2004 and beyond. See you there! *********************************************************************** In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty Forward the Reggae Vibe...Every Time !
