This is a 100% cotton t-shirt. I'd have given it a 5 star rating if it
were a 50/50 blend. This is a personal preference because the blend
holds up better.
I get complements on the shirt every time I've
worn it. So many people love Bob Marley's music, and even those who
aren't like the quote. I saw the shirt in a music store in New Orleans,
and knew I wanted it. We planned to return to the store, so I thought
I'd buy it when we did, but there's just too much to do in NOLA. We
never made it back. I checked Amazon as soon as I got home and was happy
to find it.
This shirt attracts positive energy. I've had clerks
refuse to take my money for small purchases so often that it's paid for
itself. People often tell me that they had been having a bad day and
the shirt made them feel better.

History Of The Yamaha Guitar
By the 1970's, Yamaha started to grab the attention of major artists such as Carlos Santana and BobMarley because of the instruments great quality and design. The Yamaha guitars were being built to produce a powerful warm tone with amazing sustain. Also, the "Broad Bass" was introduced in 1977 and quickly caught the attention of famous bass players throughout the world including Paul McCartney.
History Of The Yamaha Guitar

By the end of the 80's, Yamaha opened up a factory in North Hollywood, California. Here they started making guitars where they called on some professional guitar players to help them out and advise them on what they would like to see in their guitars.
One of the reasons behind the success of the Yamaha guitar is the targets that they shoot for in their design. Every guitar must have a balanced tone and response and the bass and treble must complement each other.
A very important move for Yamaha was the introduction of the dovetail neck joint to their design in the 1970's, which provides the best neck to body contact. The neck joint is made with timber, which helps to resonate vibrations easily from the neck to the body producing the balanced tone and response.
Yamaha also strongly believe that the blending of different kinds of quality wood is extremely important to produce a great sound. The outcome of blending these quality woods, are the highs last longer and the guitar player is able to control the note texture at all times.
Another important part of construction of the Yamaha guitars is the types of lacquer that they use. They work closely with the lacquer producers to make sure that they get the best type of lacquer that is right for their guitars. Yamaha want to make sure that their guitars both look great and have every chance to breathe.
Because of all these great design features, many artists have used and still prefer to strap on a Yamaha guitar on tour and in the recording studio. Some of the great artists that have played Yamaha guitars over the years are Michael Anthony, John Denver, John Lennon, BobMarley, Brian May, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, Bob Seger, Billy Sheehan, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen and James Taylor.

Recap: Basic Techniques you need to know Three basic techniques you need to master before you can start playing your favourite songs are: one, you need to know at least three major guitar chords and you should throw in at least three minor chords. You need to know these chords well enough that each chord you play sounds smooth, clear and crisp. Two: you must be able to switch from chord to chord easily and quite naturally which suggests your fingers know what they are doing; and you need to do this in time. And three, you need the ability to strum in time with every song you play. These techniques take practice and patience and required an investment of your time.

One of the most overlooked costumes with an afro is Annie. This lovable orphan was one of the first white females to wear an afro. This costume is very simple to make. You'll need a red dress with a white collar and belt and a pair of black patent leather Mary Jane's worn with lace trimmed ankle socks, and of course the signature red haired afro. You can finish off the costume with a generous sprinkling of freckles on both cheeks
Macy Gray is another pop singer who would be a great Halloween costume with an afro. While other celebrities occasionally wear an afro, is it decidedly part of her persona and style. While her dress varies also, she is generally in jeans and a casual yet eccentric top. The only other important part of this costume would be the signature gap between her two front teeth, and her gravelly voice.
An idea for a male costume with an afro is generally a hippie, perhaps from the musical Hair. This costume can be constructed with an afro wig, a casual bell sleeve or simple T-shirt, and a colorful pair of bell bottomed pants. You can finish it off with a hair band for an accessory.
While we're still in the same decade or at least a similar era of history, you could also be a Black Panther with an afro wig. This classic uniform is head to toe black, completed with a black leather jacket. The costume pieces that will make your intention clear are a black beret and a fake machine gun.
A funny character to dress up as for Halloween with an afro wig, is Richard Simmons. This hyper-energetic exercise fanatic is such an outlandish character, that the only requirements for attitude, are tremendous flamboyance. For this costume, you'll want to wear very short athletic shorts and a wrestling tank top. The effect is completed with a pair of sneakers worn with very high tube socks.
Another classic Halloween costume with an afro is Don King. This Boxing promoter has made a name for himself not just through his career, but with his outlandish speech and persona. You'll want to wear a tuxedo with a pair of his signature glasses and a big cigar. It's best if you walk around making up words all night.

Bob Marley - She's gone
This is one of the eleven songs of album Kaya that Bob Marley and The Wailers creative in 1978. Lyrics: My woman is gone (woman is gone), my woman is gone (woman is gone). She had left me a note hanging on my door: She say she couldn't take it, she couldn't take any more. The pressure around...
BobMarley has been one of my favourite artists for a long time. I probably own more BobMarley CD's than any other band or artist with the exception of Wu-Tang. My friends mum D, is partly responsible for my listening to Bob over the years because when I was little I used to like the song Jammin' and used to play the 45 single I had of it all the time and I had got the single off her. I would say I have a Bob CD in my stereo 90% of the time (it can have 3 in at a time). Bob not only made good music but also the messages that the lyrics were about were of peace and freedom.

In 1974 the Wailers broke up, each to pursue their own solo careers but Bob still continued to record as "BobMarley & The Wailers" with his new backing band which consisted of Carlton and Aston Barrett, Junior Marvin, Tyrone Downie, Al Anderson and Earl Lindo. Backing vocalists were Rita Marley (Bob's wife), Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt.
The new line-up had their first international hit with No Woman, No Cry which was on the Natty Dread album released in 1975 alongside other hits, Lively Up Yourself and Rebel Music. The album Rastaman Vibration was released in 1976 in the US and was at the top of the Billboard charts for 4 weeks.
Two days before BobMarley was going to embark on his Smile Jamaica tour Bob, Rita and their manager were injured during a shootout inside Bob's home. The attack was reported as being politically motivated as many people felt the tour was a support rally. Even though all concerned received serious injuries they all made full recoveries and the tour went on as planned with an injured Bob performing on stage.
By the end of 1976 BobMarley left Jamaica and moved to London, England where he recorded two albums (Exodus, which had the hits: Exodus, Three Little Birds, Jammin', One Love and waiting In Vain, and Kaya which boasted: Easy Skanking, Kaya, Is This Love, Satisfy My Soul and Sun Is Shining among its singles). While in London Bob was arrested for possession of cannabis.
In 1978 Bob returned to home for the One Love Peace Concert to help with the peace effort and to help calm the warring parties in Jamaica. At Bob's request both political leaders (Manley and Seaga) joined him on stage and shook hands. Babylon By Bus was released also in 1978 which was a live double album, the song Jammin captures the crowds wild and frenzied intensity to Bob's performance.
Survival which was released in 1979 was a political statement about the suffering of the African population. The album contained some controversial songs such as Africa Unite, Wake Up And Live and Zimbabwe. Bob was also invited to perform at Zimbabwe's Independence Day on April 17th.
Uprising which was released in 1980 was to be Bob's final studio album and is one of his most religious albums. The album contained Could You Be Loved, Forever Loving Jah and Redemption Song (his famous lyrics being: Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds...).
Bob died on May 11th 1981 from cancer which had started in his toe (due to a soccer accident) in 1977. Bob refused to have his foot amputated because of his Rastafarian beliefs which say that the body must remain whole. Over time the cancer had metastasized into Bob's stomach, liver, lungs and brain.
Confrontation was released after Bob's death and contained the unreleased song Buffalo Soldier and songs previously only available in Jamaica (Jump Nyabinghi and Rastaman Live Up).

Recap: Basic Techniques you need to know Three basic techniques you need to master before you can start playing your favourite songs are: one, you need to know at least three major guitar chords and you should throw in at least three minor chords. You need to know these chords well enough that each chord you play sounds smooth, clear and crisp. Two: you must be able to switch from chord to chord easily and quite naturally which suggests your fingers know what they are doing; and you need to do this in time. And three, you need the ability to strum in time with every song you play. These techniques take practice and patience and required an investment of your time.
