Keep it Rockin!

         Wow!  Has anybody seen Spliff?  If you have,  It probably wasn't on land.  Unless you were at Somewhere... on a Thursday night.  Naw, lately this dude act like he got something against LAND!

         Let me explain whats been going down.  Earlier this year, he got a boat.  Well, more like a 36ft catamaran open cruiser.  With two Yamaha 200hp on the back.  Yea, Boat didn't describe it too well.  But, anyway.  He calls this business Island Vybes.  It started going good.  And business picked up.  Witch means I started seeing less of my right hand man. 

         Needless to say, after a while I guess He felt like one boat wasn't enough.  Cause now he has two of those Solid High Glass Black demons running around Grace Bay like the water was made for em.  And to top it off, he has a Diving Board on the top of both of them, too!! What kinda ish is that?

        OK.  So I have been off of the diving board. Twice!  And it is off the chain.  I have been on the tour at least three times and I still look forward to going on again.  So maybe he does have the best tour, and offers the best staff with the best personalities you will find in the Grace Bay.  So maybe he was born with a prop and a mike in his hands.

        I'd still like to see him more often.  But much power, love and respect.  Keep it Rockin!

        If you're ever in the Turks and Caicos Islands,
Look em up.

Oh, ask for Captain Sean and let em know you saw it on JustSpliff.

JustSpliff is stepping our game up this year. The studio is here. After years of planning, and months of good old 'shoulder to the wheel', King Spliff has brought to frutition his first Studio. So, you know! Toons will be comming at you shortly.
Been doing a little 'peddle to the metal' myself, lately. So, the material on here may have been lacking. But, I'll make up for it some how. More thoughts, more music, more love to our JustSpliff fans.

She Moves Like the Rain?!

Ever thought about how you never notice something until it matters? No matter how much of a routine it was for how ever long, you just didn't relize it?

Tuesdays! Tuesdays in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It always rains. No no, not the type that sets all day and keeps you inside. Worse. Its the type that only comes for a minute, lasts a minute, then comes back a few minutes later.

Normally, this type of weather is not so bad. You still get to go out and enjoy the part of the day that the rain allows. And quite frankly, this phenom went unnoticed until....

Until we started having gigs on Tuesdays. It never fails. The clouds are never there until about 3 oclock. The rain comes at about 5. And by 6-6.30, your set up nice and good for a beautiful sunset. Its like a story out of a book or movie.

The up side is that the management has taken notice of it also, and is more than willing to work with us and the weather. The down side is you. Will you have faith that Jah will provide that beautiful sunset, on a beautiful beach, with beautiful people playing beautiful music? So far, I will answer yes. Justspliff appreciates the support.

Don't stop. Don't turn around thinkin it's gonna rain. You came this far already, and you deserve it. Do yourself a favor and have faith.

Grass is Greener?

So, I guess the question is, is the grass really greener on the other side. Of course, circumstances dictate the answer to this question in most cases. But, when you really think about it, it's usually better to just stay put. Don't go trying to jump that big fence with gold in your eyes.

Recently, I've been fronted with the choice to go to Nassau or stay here in Turks Island. The possibility of living in Nassau, a much busier hot spot, are encouraging. There are way more people, which means more expossior, bigger crowds, more gigs, etc. OK, so the vegetation sound pretty lush on that side.
Turks, on the other side, offers its own set of benefits. For one, serenity, which is something of a myth in Nassau (on the main land). The scenery around here is to live for. And I can't complain about the quality of life.

So, I can say for now that I'm staying put. I'm gonna work on my music, and my house, and see how tall I can grow this grass. One of the really good things about doing it this way....
You can still come to the Turks and Caicos Islands and see JustSpliff Live, anytime you want.

Hit The Road, Just

So, I guess you can say this thing caught on kinda quick. Private shows, weddings, gigs every week; one could get use to such a life. One could say to themselves: "Self, I'm pretty comfortable right where I'm at. Why should I stress myself over anything else?".

If any of the greats had this mentality, they would have spent there life's doing gigs in bars for $300! (not that there is anything wrong with that...).

No, instead, they all decided to take a chance at something bigger. Take the risk to loose it all, or soar high.

This is the topic on my mind today. Should I stay or should I go? Well, If you know Justice, then you know the answer already. But I gotta do this the right way.

It's not written in stone yet. But, when the decision is final, don't worry. My JustSpliff fans will be the first now. Before the ink dries...

As The World Turns

Ok. Im still new at this whole 'meeting new people on a different level' thing. Dont get me wrong, I like meeting new people. And I can certainly enjoy new and good conversations. But, its usually on a 'here this minute, gone the next vibe'. There's no real time to get to know the persons that I meet.

In a way, its a good thing. Having hurt before, and sending the pain below, I know what 'true' goodbyes are like. Its not fun for the most part. Yea, there are promisses to write, call, and visit, but who really knows what will be. Maybe the experience was more to one person, than the other. Which leads to a whole other topic of what are people really thinking?!

I don't know.... Maybe one has to find a way to compartmentalize. Is that spelt write! Or, just know that with every new friend, comes 'the hurt'.

Lesson learned

Pride. Its good to have in most cases. But, a lot of times it just gets us in more problems than expected. I fell victim to this sneeky devil this past weekend, and it cost me a paycheck, and more important, my pride.

Do to some holdups, my new guitar has not reached yet. Don't ask why, cause I don't know. Now, seeing that I already mentioned my guitar being on its way, it was hard to go back and ask to use the guitar again. Mind you, this is a good friend Im talking about. Anyway. Long story short; I ended up having two guitars that were malfunctioning. Caused me so much stress and imbarassment that we just packed up and went home.

Lesson learned. If it aint broke don't fix it! Well, at least we were able to finally get some good shots!!
