While in art school, Donn remembers the Uprising Tour stopped by Pittsburgh to promote the same name's album. At a Stanley Theatre venue, he photographed Bob Marley with his band, The Wailers.

Full of nostalgia, Donn recollects that it was just yesterday when Bob Marley took the stage to sing his "Redemption Song."
