In the autumn of 1983 an Englishman named Jon Jelleyman arrived to the shores of Rhode Island just in time to astound all with his guitar pyrotechnics, skank & bubble, soulful vocals, frightfully funky bass, impressive songwriting, and expert engineering. Guadagni, Jelleyman, and Spreier formed a band named Allagash. Jelleyman became a musical mentor for Guadagni and Spreier leading them on a musical trip to Jamaica for reggae with frequent syncopated stops in Great Britain for roots rock. It was essentially a musical Zen philosophy. The absence of sound in music was taught to be the most important of all. Rhythm is made up of the spaces between the notes. It is the sound of one hand clapping that allows one to appreciate the sound of two hands clapping in time. Jelleyman joined Maasai in 1984. Guadagni and Spreier becames the audio engineers for Maasai's live performances. Guadagni and Jelleyman joined the Wilson Blue and the Blue Roots Reggae Band in 1985. Blue proved to be more efficient at getting gigs so the band split up. Their last performance was at The Rustic Well in Smithfield, R.I. on March 3, 1986.
