1989-05-03 Steve Dolley's Birthday


<== This is the cover of one of Steve Dolley's works on nuclear proliferation. Quite a diverse guy, actually.

A special show for my good friend Steve Dolley who did the "Hour of the Wolf News" right before the show for a good long time. We hear another good edition of Steve's news, a Vermont Reggae Festival promo, and then 90 minutes of roots music.

Artists consisted of: Roots Radics, Sister P, Dub Syndicate, Lee Perry, Singers and Players, New Age Steppers, Channel Two Dub Band live, High Society, Bob Marley & the Wailers, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear and a lot more.

1989-03-22 Lee Perry


It starts with Steve Dolley and the "Hour of the Wolf News" and many of the headlines sound like they could have come from today.

The show is a special feature on the music of Lee "Scratch" Perry, new and old. This was a lot of fun. He is called "Scratch" because, as the story comes to me from Roger Steffens, when asked Perry says, "Well, everything starts from scratch, and who am I?"

1989-02-08 Ziggy Marley


The show begins with some hot tuns from Kathy Biscardi in the first half of the Reggae Lunch that day. Then comes Steve Dolley's awesome "Hour of the Wolf" news. That news broadcast remains relevant many, many years later. There is also a classic Vermont Reggae Festival promotion.

The main section of the show itself involves previoewing thew appearance of Ziggy Marley and the Melodymakers in Burlington. We take a nice tour their the music, but also throw in some interview segments I did with Ziggy over the phone some years earlier.

Get both parts. Right click to download, click to listen right away and always better in iTunes:
