    Hi kamilah,

    your blog popped up in my Google Alerts, because it contains Rootz Underground. I'm a member of the band and so I keep a lookout on the web for anything Rootz-related that pops up. Just want to say thanks for your support. It's quite an honour to be listed in your favourites, and among such good company too! Keep listening - we're always trying to come up with something new and fresh for all the Rootz fans out there!

    Love & Respect,
    Colin Rootz

    Hi Colin,

    Wow, I'm honoured that you left a comment! I bought "Movement" and I really love it. Hope I don't miss you guys if you come back to Illinois, I somehow missed hearing about that show till it was too late...

    PS Since you know Jamaica is a small island, i actually think my dad knows your dad!

    Walk good,
    Kamilah
