After recording "Take A Vacation", Orrin returned to Europe in November to perform live at Amsterdam's Melkweg Club in a tribute to the memory of the late Bob Marley. Other performers included Rita Marley and her family. When not in the studio, Orrin is very active in performing for worthy causes, working with and performing for, and in support of, This Close for Cancer Research, The Citywide Youth Coalition, N.O.R.M.L and The Kids for Life Foundation, dedicated to the enrichment of children's lives. Orrin is also the author of two books: "Confessions of a Soda Jerk", designed to aid young people in confronting and overcoming hard drug abuse; and "Brother to Brother", a true-life work based on the adventures of two brothers and their odyssey from Afghanistan's Khyber Pass to the "rock 'n roll highway."
In past years, Orrin has collaborated with Michael on a series of musical projects. In Jamaica, Orrin added finishing touches to several of his reggae tunes in time to perform "Please Come Home," penned by Michael, on the Oprah Winfrey show.
