Interview and studio visit with Frank Kozik in his studio in downtown San Francisco. October 2007.

    Met Bob once when they played Syracuse NY, maybe 79 ? Eight of us came from The Farm a " hippie commune" 80 miles away.We had just finished shopping for the Chef that traveled with them. and needed tickets. He pointed to a tall white guy in a cowboy hat. Chris asked me if my wife and I would like to meet Bob! After meeting a couple Wailers, whose spliffs I kept hoping they would pass, Bob comes in. Magic time. I'm instantly smitten. We talked and I told him we were brothers, long hair flowing, herb smoking, breakaway revolutionaries, he would have none of it. " Nah, the Bibble ( Bible) the only way!. I left disappointed he didn't see our similarities. This part white, yet black man, had an incredible presence, a devoted Rasta. I still feel to this day that he was a saint. My saints aren't perfect people, but are Natural Mystics!

    I loved watching this interview. Shiah Coore is so right when he says "we just need to be a little more relentless" because like he said reggae music is great and even though the market isn't as large as other genres of music it can get bigger and it should. Love how he calls Junior Gong the prince of reggae, so true.
