A musical legend...Lee "Scratch" Perry!

So, in a turn toward fortunate experiences, tonight I will be partaking of two very amazing ones: first, Mr. Lee "Scratch" Perry will be performing and I get to see him live and in the flesh!; second, he will be performing at the newly restored and thoroughly ornate Oakland Fox Theatre in lovely downtown Oakland!

For reggae fans and fanatics, you will know of the legends of Mr. Perry. I can't wait to see (and hear!) his crazy show...I know it's gonna be a blast! He's been in the music business since the 1950's and has worked with all of the best, famous and otherwise infamous Jamaican & other musicians throughout his years. For more info, chek out the wiki file or his official website:

This is fun and educational to watch:


And I can't forget the Oakland Fox Theatre! Take a look here to get an idea of the glory to be experienced with this decadent theatre:
