Mother B's Presence will surely be missed by the massive on an International level. She not only gracefully shared with us her first born son Reggae Icon - the late Robert Nesta Marley. She afforded us a sense of being in the Reggae entertainment field. Who can forget that smile - that brighten up the world or the laughter that felt like thunder? who can forget a woman who had a strong determination and a loving kindness about herself that one can never forget. Mother B- lifted us up in song with the release of "Smilin Island of Song", "You Gotta Move","Awake Zion" and "Mother Don't cry" she was loved and respected by many. Who ever came across her path, she always received them heartily. With sorrow in our hearts for your loss, we can still smile as we look within ourselves and remember that bright smiling face that Mother B had always and joyfully remember the love that Bob had for his mother that inspired him to pen one of his most famous songs ever "No Woman no cry". Warm Love for eternal Peace - Cedella Marley-Booker 1945-2008 "No Woman No Cry". I remember when we used to sit In a government yard in Trench Town And then Georgie would make a fire light As it was log wood burning through the night Then we would cook cornmeal porridge Of which I'll share with you My feet is my only carriage So I've got to push on through But while I'm gone. No woman, no cry No woman, no cry Oh, my little darling I say don't shed no tears No woman, no cry Little sister, don't shed no tears No woman, no cry Mushiya Mushiya Strickland R.A.W. #1667 Jobe Enterprises P.O.

Date: Friday, April 11, 2008 10:29 PM From Seefari SEEFARI will be performing live with his band Saturday April 12 @ The Trolley Stop on East 5th Street in Dayton¹s Historic Oregon District www.trolleystopdayton.com www.seefari.com This show will be livicated to the memory of Mikey Dread AKA Michael Campbell, Legendary Jamaican reggae recording artist and Dub Master, who passed away on March 15 at the age of 54. Mikey Dread¹s work as a singer, producer, radio DJ and engineer was crucial to the development of reggae, dub, dancehall, lovers rock, punk rock and electronica. He was one of the first radio DJs to become a recording star. (Something that has now become common place.) Mikey worked as a singer, producer and engineer with artists as diverse as The Clash, UB40, King Tubby, Sugar Minott, Izzy Spradlin (of Guns n¹ Roses) and Seal (just to name a few). He also worked with many lesser-known artists and he was well-loved for his kindness to others in the music business. He was under-rated and unappreciaed as an artist and his amazingly innovative work will stand as a testament to his musical genius. He leaves behind a wife and 4 month old baby as well as six other children. Mikey will be greatly missed! His spirit lives on through his music! More info @ www.mikeydread.com www.myspace.com/datc SEEFARI (who has performed live on stage with Mikey Dread) will be performing several of Mikey Dread¹s classics including ³Roots and Culture² and ³Break down the walls² @ saturday¹s show.
