| Lynne Condon - is the
goddess / founder of the Jamaica Rock 'n' Blues Jam. She came up with this idea after visiting
blues clubs around the Dallas / Fort Worth area. Already a great fan of the Hedonism resorts, she
decided that incorporating music along with a Jamaica vacation was the best way to enjoy both! She
got in contact with Joseph Smith, then the General Manager at Hedo 2, told him her idea, and got him
to agree to let us entertain the guests at the resort. The rest is history! |
