For today, I used a combination black pen and a marker. I'm trying to experiment on what works for me and what doesn't.

Marley began his music career with rocksteady and reggae group "The Wailers", which included two other reggae musicians, Bunny Livingston (Bunny Wailer) and Peter McIntosh (Peter Tosh), both who later left the group and went on to become successful solo artists. After The Wailers broke up 1974, Marley went on with "Bob Marley & The Wailers" with the I Threes (his wife Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths) as backing vocalists.

He became famous with his 1975 hit "No Woman No cry."

Bob Marley left Jamaica at the end of 1976, and went to England, where he recorded both Exodus (which included "Jamming", "Waiting in Vain" and "One Love/People Get Ready") and Kaya (which included "Satisfy My Soul" and "Is This Love")
,and where he was arrested for possession of a joint of marijuana (the word kaya is synonymus with marijuana.) Survival came out in 1979 (featuring "Africa Unite" and "Zimbabwe") and Uprising followed in 1980 (it featured "Redemption Song," and "Could You Be Loved." )

He passed away in Miami, Florida on May 11, 1981. His funeral in Jamaica was a dignified affair with combined elements of Ethiopian Orthodoxy and Rastafari. He is buried in a crypt at Nine Miles, near his birthplace, with his Gibson guitar, a bud of marijuana and a Bible.
