You can't know how good the vibe is unless you hear it. Im all about the music. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Im always down for making the sound better.
Started out playing rhythm guitar in New York for the reggae group Lion Force in the early 80s. Toured the US extensively for 7 years doing gigs in various cities and colleges.The band lasted until the beginning of the 90s. After the break up I turned to production which I continue to do now on a daily basis.

Story behind the song
Appealing to the leaders of the world to stop the wars
Lyrics
Intro Ad Lib: Let Jah be praised, let Jah be praised while His enemies have scattered. Verse 1: I'm talking to you world leaders, Put an end to war, what are we fighting for We all in the the same scheme of things Each man is your brother Why don't you stop the war Harmony: Stop it, stop it, stop it Now that you see the light Chorus: I'm reaching out, reaching out for your love Don't you know for your love I'm reaching out, reaching out for your love Don't you know for your love Verse 2: When you are battered and defeated and disorganized When you need some love and understanding to carry us through You don't need to fuss You don't need to fight Come lets live upright Its the only way my brothers thats why Chorus: I'm reaching out, reaching out For your love Don't you know for your love I'm reaching out, reaching out For your love Don't you know for your love Verse 3: Look at the children See them cry tears of fear Dreams passing by We all breathe the same air Live under the same sky Its time to stop the pain Let the hatred die. Chorus: I'm reaching out, reaching out For your love Don't you know for your love I'm reaching out, reaching out For your love Don't you know for your love Verse 4: Voices rising, calling for peace Let the fighting stop Let the violence cease Hands can build Hearts can mend Its never too late For the world to bend Chorus: I'm reaching out, reaching out For your love Don't you know for your love I'm reaching out, reaching out For your love Don't you know for your love Guitar solo: I'm reaching out, reaching out For your love Don't you know for your love I'm reaching out, reaching out For your love Don't you know for your love Outro Ad Lib: Let Jah be praised, let Jah be praised
