Hello! Hello Ziggy!
So stoked to see you at PTTP this year. I had to buy another copy of “The Spirit of Music” this year and had been listening to it for about two months before seeing your awesome set at PTTP ‘08. Timeless music full of the Grace of God. Loved that it was acoustic. Your Mother is right you know… about you being a King. In my humble opinion, I think Michael is a spiritual King as well. Rastaman vibration for sure in Golden Gate park on September 6, 2008. “Thank you Lord for every little thing, Thank you Lord for every song Ziggy sings!”
Om Tat Sat.
Namaste,
Brandy

Hi Ziggy,
I am a total Spearhead fan and love that all of you get together to keep the vibe rollin….Your father was a great man, a prophet. I love that your family has taken that beauty and spirit and continued where he left off. The youth of today need ones like you and yours man. Songs of freedom, songs of hope, songs of rightousness and education. Keep on jammin all of you. and the best of the best…today I listened to your Grandmother, Mother B on utube…my eyes were full with tears, my heart was overflowing with the UNIVERSAL ONE LOVE. As one who is grieving with my family over the loss of a loved one this week, I am thankful for the reminder that it carries on..it carries on. My duty as a grandmother to my two precious grandchildren is sacred. I will spread the good word to them and keep the light shining.
All love and light,
Lulu
