WAYNESBORO -- Christopher Woodson laid the $30,000 check on the coffee table in the small living room of the small house he shares in Waynesboro with his wife and two of his three daughters.

Another child, a son, is due in December. If current plans hold, his name will be Christopher Lion Woodson.

Woodson, 34, said the money -- from a settlement with a Botetourt County company that wouldn't hire him because he refused to cut his long hair -- will pay bills and perhaps help promote the music of the band for which he sings, Righteous Friendz.

Reggae music by Toots and the Maytals played in the background from cable TV. Most art objects around the shade-darkened room reflected African origins or themes.
