Thanks to my old friend, saxophonist Kevin Bonfield, for restoring the tradition of the sidewalk performer on Knutsford Boulevard. Kevin's been around the block a few times, and seen the best and (more often) worst of life, but he keeps a bright outlook and an endearing humility which caused me, like others threading the Friday afternoon jam in New Kingston, to stop and give him a listening ear. Fellow saxman Conrad Pinnock was also out there lending moral support.
later, just ahead of the now obligatory late afternoon downpour, we found ourselves at Bookophilia, where preparations were well underway for the "Artical Exposure" event being mounted by activist group Manifesto Jamaica (see them on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ManifestoJA?ref=ts&v=app_4949752878)Despite our best intentions we missed the musical vibes, but we caught sight of some pretty interesting artwork, which we share with you here.
Good thingz are happening around the city - you have to open your eyez.
