Them have the money to spend. There are good and bad in every nation. God just put it in you and it come. If you just think about positive things, positive things will come. DM: I play the piano and I play the guitar, so when I start, get some inspiration, I just go toward my piano and find some key and start to play. So, I have keyboard and I have instruments.

And I play… I have a computer that has music and it has 64 tracks on it, so music and my sons play and my brother. I got three musicians in my sons: drum, bass and keyboard. DM: Everything is hard, but if you put some effort into it, it becomes easy. Even going to bed is not easy, because a plane can crash into your house and kill you. Have to think about God in every way.

DM: What I am most proud of? That I know Jah Rastafari, because that is my strength of my walk of life: knowing truth and right. LG: True. What new talents impress you these days? What new music are you listening to or inspired by?

DM: In this time? So they are doing them—not creating new music… only putting different lyrics on it. You know? When we used to do those things, we used to have some good things set up but these artists that I see now, a lot of them, them singing on 4 chords and them only singing one chord. Recently, I listened to the Reunion album—which I think is fantastic—and fundamentally, the harmonies on this album mirror the harmonies in the older music. How do you keep that timeless quality?

This album here, Reunion, we have seven tracks on it that the original members of The Abyssinians sing. So it must sound close to the Satta Massagana that Heartbeat has, because we are the same persons doing it. Some of the tracks, I did them by myself and I got help on a couple of them, but seven of the tracks are original, so it must sound as close to what was there before. LG: It was wonderful to see both the older and younger reggae fans enjoying your show at Maritime Hall—you always bring a positive message to the people.
