      Excited to see the other bands. Excited to eat the food and see the sights. Stoked to finally see Dirty Dozen. But Toots! Hell yeah Toots at CC outside. Heaven! Toots coined the term Reggae. Yep the first to use it in a song he called "Do the Reggay". His voice is velvet butter. If you even moderately like reggae you have to make sure you see this man. He is as much a godfather to reggae as is Marley/Tosh/Cliff, et al. Collapse
