Hello friends and readers,
In some previous posts, I have identified people and groups who have made a difference, and today's post is no different.
I originally wasn't going to post today until I read an article in our military newspaper about a reggae musician who was going to shave his beard to " find himself ". What caught me off guard was the fact that this particular artist is an Orthodox Hasidic Jew and the beard is so symbolic and reverent in their following of the religion. I went to Youtube.com and what I found transcended a national identity....and I want to share some links to his information and a couple of his videos. In his music, he speaks to everyone no matter where they are and his music should not be credited to his religion or birthright....it comes from the heart. Please join me and give this musician a thumbs up and give his music a listen.
This article explains the beard shaving somewhat: http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/matisyahu-shaves-beard-leaves-fans-confused/2011/12/14/gIQAoxzguO_story.html
This link from Wikipedia will give you more information about this artist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matisyahu
I hope you enjoy the music....it's nice finding something new and positive. Have a great day!
Trevor
