When it started to rain in the park, Jahriffe MacKenzie, a member of the Jah-N-I Roots Band, was playing the guitar and singing an original rendition of “Thin Line Between Love and Hate” that referenced Solomon and Bath-Sheba, as a young woman stood next to him holding an umbrella over his head. As he progressed in his set, the rain let up and the sun came out. “Musicians are the healers,” said MacKenzie. “The healers are the ones that tap into the doors that no one wants to tap into. I just try to bring the light and music to touch the people’s souls.” " — Corey J. Allen, Bay State Banner
