I was so honored to donate one of my books ( www.samdiephuis.com/book ) to Roger Steffens‘ reggae collection yesterday.  What an amazing guy!  Every time I hang out with him I am inspired.   Here’s the intro to his Wikipedia page.  It doesn’t do him or his collection justice but… Roger Steffens (born June 17, 1942) is a Brooklyn, New York born actor, author, lecturer, editor, reggae archivist, photographer, producer. Roger is perhaps best known for his reggaearchives, in particular his archives of Bob Marley. Six rooms of his home in Los Angeles house his archives, which include the world’s largest collection of Bob Marley material. Based on these archives Roger lectures internationally with a multi-media presentation called “The Life of Bob Marley”. Roger’s radio career began in New York in 1961, and was co-host of the award-winning Reggae Beat on KCRW in Los Angeles and was syndicated on 130 stations worldwide in the 1980s. Roger has two children, Kate and Devon.

#bobmarley #advertising #jamaica #reggae - House and resident, Trench Town JA. I was hanging out the with one of Bob Marley’s precusionists the other day and he told me that this was a house where the Wailers did a lot of practicing.  Who knows maybe he wrote some of their music here? Anyway, I went inside and this is a picture of a nice woman who lived in the building.

#reggae #jamaica #advertising #travel #music - This is the engineer that works at the Marley Tuff Gong Studio, Greg “Cuppy-G” -  He’s a really really nice guy and if you need any engineering done, this is the guy to do it.  Tuff Gong is the biggest most modern studio Ive seen in JA.  HUGE!  Very historic as well.   - By Sam Diephuis
