While in art school, Donn remembers the Uprising Tour stopped by Pittsburgh to promote the same name's album. He had the privilege of photographing Bob Marley with his band, The Wailers, at a Stanley Theatre venue. On September 23, 1980, this event was the last scheduled public concert performed by the Reggae idol. Triumphant! Donn, full of nostalgia, recollects as if it was just yesterday when Bob Marley took the stage to sing his "Redemption Song."
