so I was writing elsewhere about focus shows to do for my radio show / podcast, and this was what I said...


Thinking ahead, there's plenty of folks I've never really focused on, and plenty of folks I could do again in a better or different fashion. Never done Slim Smith. (lots of riddim runs there) Duke Reid / Treasure Isle. Man, let me think about what shows I HAVE done thus far...
