I randomly heard some reggae music while on a road trip this summer and it took my mind back to an event I went to back in 1989 called Reggae Sunsplash. It took place in Johnson park in Wyoming. I ended up there because a guy who went by the name Rastaman Nane' had come to the local public access TV station GRTV looking for somebody to shoot video of the event. At that point I was very active down there and agreed to do it because it sounded like fun.
Anyway, it occurred to me that I must still have the tape someplace and sure enough, I did. Here is a short I edited together to put online from about 2 hours worth of footage. Hope some people enjoy this time-portal to a summer long ago!
Yes. In the early 90s. Unfortunately, two young women were struck and killed by a drunk driver as they walked back to their car. The event was never held again.
Wasn't this held at Falsburg Park in Lowel or were there 2?
