saw Bob Marley, How reggae changed the world. standing Ovation, Hidden Gem. You know those shows where one doesn't need an intimate knowledge of the topic to enjoy the show, this is one of those shows. The bonus is the references to Duane's personal story. Fabulous show, well written and skillfully performed.
