Five years and the Reggae Lunch was still chuggin on down the line. It was great to have Kathy Biscardi, Pam Peck and Chuck Morton, who shared hosting responsibilities, along to celebrate. We had a great discussion among the three of us about what the Reggae Lunch means to me. Music included: Rita Marley, Tyrone Taylor, Carlene Davis, Lillian Ellen, Sanchez, Peter Tosh, Mikey Dread, Macka B, Paulette Tajah, Singers & Players, Wackie's Rhythm All Stars, and a lot more.

1989-01-04 Fifth Anniversary Reggae Lunch
1988-12-21 Christmas Present
We get a taste of Kathy Biscardi's portion of the Reggae Lunch, another great version of Steve Dolley's Hour of the Wolf News and then on into my part of the Reggae Lunch. I have a special Christmas present, a 1980 Bob Marley & the Wailers live in Santa Barbara (60 minutes), and that is pretty sweet. Then we get into Prince Buster, from the Big Five 1972 LP, where he features some of his more bawdy songs. This shows that the Reggae phenomenon of having explicit lyrics goes way back in Jamaican culture.

1988-12-07 Buster, Bob & DJs
<== Prince Buster, 1964
Not much mention of Pearl Harbor day. We hear a lot from Prince Buster, the master of the 1960's "blue beat" that was an important precursor to Reggae, then some from Bob Marley, Junior Delgado, Carlene Davis, Honey & Spice, Flourgon, Dignity Stylish, Linton Kwesi Johnson and a lot more. Some interesting Marley remixes there, some from Chris Blackwell and Tuff Gong.

1988-11-23 The Unbroadcast
The station had been off the air, but I decided to carry on as if it was on the air, and then after a few minutes it powered up and people started calling. Nice. This broadcast also featured the Ini Kamoze set from Vermont Reggae Fest 1988. Music included: Lambsbread, Sister P, Dub Syndicate, Sandra Cross, and a lot more.
The news at the top of the show is meant to be a joke, because I was not on the air, but it was fun.

1988-11-09 Election Dub
The election of 1988 was nasty and depressing. What with Willie Horton ads playing the race card and Bush flag waving and Dukakis tank driving, it was bad. The war continues, just the commander in chief changes. Some dubs for that. Winston Grennan's band from the 1988 Vermont Reggae Fest was featured.

1988-11-16 Set Mandela Free
Rumors were out and about that Nelson Mandela might be freed from prison in South Africa. On the Reggae Lunch we are tired of waiting, and we wanted Nelson Mandela released immediately. We had to wait until February 11 1990, but we never gave up. Music that day included: Special AKA, Macka B, Wackie's Rhythm Force, Sandra Cross, Prince Fari special salute, Techniques, Prince Buster, N'dube and Mamakossa and the 1-2 Band from Vermont Reggae Fest 1988, Bob Marley, and a lot more. Another great version of The Hour of the Wolf News.

1988-10-26 Halloween Dub
Some Halloween style dub to get us going, then some more regular features, such as the 1988 Vermont Reggae Fest and a part of the Lambsbread set. Besides Lambsbread, the music included: Tabla Rasa, Lee Perry, Gussie Prento, Black Uhuru, Ijahman, Burning Spear, Bob Marley and more. Interesting version of The Hour of the Wolf News from Steve Dolley.
