STEPHEN MARLEY POSES FOR LINDSAY
The
book, PORTRAIT OF A LEGEND AND OTHER FOLKS, will be adorned by this portrait of
a young Stephen Marley photographed in Miami in 1981. This book will be a
self-publishing venture in association with the small independent Welsh
publishing house, Marlin Publishing Limited. Everyone who pre-orders a copy
will receive a bonus prior to its release. The reason for this is that one
intends to ensure strong initial sales for this book. The exclusive pre-order
bonus, sadly, will only be revealed prior to publication in August, 2012.
Be Happy!!!
Be Happy!!!
LINDSAY AND THE FIELD MARSHALL
I
was to spend times photographing members of The Wailers.
As preperation for the publication of the book PORTRAIT OF A LEGEND AND OTHER FOLKS gathers pace, I am reminded of probably the best portrait I was to take of "Field Marshall", Mr Carlton "Carly" Barrett.
I was to take this portrait on stage at Madison Square Garden, New York, in 1980, during a sound check.
Mr Barrett was an influential drummer and percussion player.
With his brother, Mr Aston "Family Man" Barrett, they began their careers as members of Mr Lee "Scratch" Perry's house band, The Upsetters.
"Field Marshall" was to popularized the ONE DROP rhythm, a percussive drumming style and with "Fams" on bass, the Wailers rhythm section planted the seeds for Mr Robert Nesta Marley.
Sadly, Mr Carlton Barrett was murdered outside his home in Jamaica in 1987.

THE LEGEND AND LINDSAY DONALD
This portrait which I was to take of the legend in 1980, at 56 Hope Road, Kingston, was iriginally meant to have graced the cover of the first Rastafarian newspaper, Survival.
It did not.
It will instead grace the cover of the book, PORTRAIT OF A LEGEND AND OTHER FOLKS, due to be published in August, 2012.
