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!
