I am writing this message to show love and honor to the annointed Winston Rodney whos music has brought me countless hours of joy as well as peovided me comfort in dark times when I would have thought to give up. As a music teacher and band director I have found your uncomprimising approach to the music industry is a glowing template for anyone who would dream of making this a career. I have used your model as an example when teaching my students, most of which are from impovereshed forgotten areas of society. I also have owned a sound system (Rudie International) since the age of 14 which routinely use Burning Spear as the highlight of our playlist. I stepped away from tge sound system in order to focus on my teaching career; but also because I felt as the trend in Reggae music had drifted away from its core values of uplifment and spirituality. I recently have put my sound back on the road as God had revealed that I should only do it glorify HIS kingdom. Since that time I have found some success with that as a mission; however i find many promoters are not enthusiatic about booking a sound whos core purpose is to glorify the kingdom of God. I have also found myself slated for many strictly dubplate dances where I am unable to play Burning Spear music which is heart breaking. I pray that you would consider my sound as an advocate and ambassodor if you will worthy of championing your musical legacy. I pray health and strength for you and your family. Love Honor and Respect. Humbly yours Daniel "Rudie" Fairweather (678)613-4127. defairweather@gmail.com
