Gramps Morgan has the gift of

Aimed precisely at the listener’s soul

Through song, Morgan reminds us to

Live this life while we still have it

Gramps says 'Life Too Short' is

Simply «a song of comfort», and as a

Firm believer in delivering music to

Heal humanity, 'Life Too Short' raises

Consciousness of the fragility and

Sanctity of life

Tend toward the positive in all

Situations, so when he belts out

«…Life too short fi a stress di small

Things when we know

Jah bless me with everything /Life

Too short fi a worry bout bad mind

When the world a suffer from war and

Crime…» he means that he draws his

Strength from Jah/God

Believing in a greater power than self

Gramps urges the listener to stop

Wasting time sweating the small stuff

And to let go of grudges and «bad

Mind» (a Jamaican idiom that refers to

Being envious of, or grudging

Someone)

Nominee said: «I couldn’t imagine that

Ever happening to my son.»

Speaking of his eldest, Jemere.

«As a

Father of a 16 year old… I don’t know

What I would do if I was in that

Situation, but I know that justice must

Be served.»

«We have been following the tragedy

That has happened with Trayvon,»

Explains Wendy Morgan, Gramps'

Manager, «and after reading a report

That he was a lover of Reggae music

It humbled us to have someone of

That age love our music.

We wanted

To do our part to pay respect to his

Young life and contribute to help

Keep Trayvon’s memory and legacy

Alive.»
