Practice Interview

I was fortunate enough to get permission from the land owner to conduct an interview today. I received a signed notecard which allowed me to begin my interview. The interview took place right on the island. My reason for interviewing this specific person is as follows:

The interviewee is the land owner and manager of the Sunsplash Reggae Island.
They will be able to offer a great deal of useful information on its background
and its purpose. The interviewee was also eager to answer any and all questions I
was curious about. The interviewee went out of its way to make me feel welcome in
their community. Unlike some of the other foreign members of the group,
this interviewee is fluent in the English language.

This is the conversation:

The purpose of this practice interview is to find out detailed information
relating to Sunsplash and its community. I am looking for its origins and
anything that relates it to Rasta or Reggae roots.
