For example I cannot cut and paste so I cannot put this document into an email file. I will send as an attachment for now. Until I can figure out how to paste into an email file. I will access the net and see if I can manage, if not I will have to wait until I return home after thanksgiving. If it works I can send you reviews as it happen. Tonite Pablo Moses is at Moes in Santa Cruz and tomorrow night Mikey General and the Lions of Israel will grace the stage, I hope to review that live from Santa Cruz. Hope you have a happy thanksgiving the RAW way and I will be checking in with you.....soon come.

Inner Visions, sailed through the U.S. in 2003 picking up praises and new fans from coast to coast. In these trying times, with war, hunger and joblessness. They are so refreshing as they stand steadfast to their belief that JAH is the creator of all things and will make a way out. They remain the "Love one Another Crew.! Ras Paul, continues to give us that Spiritual Consciousness through his words of wisdom,when he sings Ain't it the truth you can't help but to think "Ain't it the truth" (smile) taken from the Street Corner Musicians CD. Ras Paul, not only sings praises to JAH!,but he lives by what he believes a true, Spiritual Rastaman. Kingstonian Rasta Ras Paul a refreshing breath of fresh air, cleansed by JAH!.. Grasshopper,provides that sweet softness with his singing, he comes alive when he's performing Lovers Reggae as Grasshopper would say "If I'm feeling it, you will feel it". He has that magic touch! or should I say that magic voice of gold! Jupiter, it's difficult really to sum up this Rasta man with the Bass in hand, quoting form a fan - Barnabas out of Dallas, he said "when I heard that Cat (Jupiter) play that Bass, it made my heart pound, he really put himself in what he was doing and allowed me to travel that journey, he's awesome!" Yes the guys are definitely, a Vision a Vision I entreat you all to experience. INNER VISIONS.
