ComeUnity Band

The Community Band invites me for a ride on their Rocket Boat Reggae tour of Long Beach Harbor. And oh, there I go. Teres Harahshes, a friend from drum circles and other L.B.C. (Long Beach City) bohemian connections, captures me for the evening at sea. Her voluptuous daughter Amber, writes, sings, and rocks the boat for The Community Band. In salt air and tawny light I capture a moment or two while doing a reggae head sway over red wine and North California spice. Long Beach reminds me of Rio, cleaner but not as beautiful. Still, like the Cariocas of Rio de Janeiro, LBC folk know how to party. Rasta, all over the world
