Legendary Conga Player Larry McDonald & Friends Light Up Miracle Theater-Video

When the best conga player to ever live, Larry McDonald, informed me he’d be the featured player February 10 with the David Hillyard Band & the Rocksteady 7-at the Miracle Theater, a large and classy venue in Inglewood that’s splendid for live music-I immediately cleared my calendar and put aside a big bud of Southern California “knockout weed” (as a present for Larry).
Billed by the Miracle as “a showcase of ska, reggae, [and] soul,” the Hillyard Band was the headliner of the evening. Their polished renditions of Jamaican classics and original compositions thrilled concert-goers with good vibes; by the time the night was over everyone was imbued with that pulsating thrill-one that makes you feel better about almost all life’s challenges-live music, excellently done, provides.
