Rocksteady Tonight Podcast - Episode #28: Rocksteadying In The New Year

It was a perfect storm this year and my show fell on New Years Eve. Needless to say it was an honor to ring in the New Year with the listeners in the UK and entertain the ones in the USA all at the same time. While not a banner year, 2019 was not a bad one - especially for music! It was the year Rick & I started with Boot Boy Radio, an opportunity I will always be thankful for. This show because it was on NYE was truly representative of a celebration. It featured music from all Waves of Ska and from around the world as well. So if you haven't celebrated yet, get those boots laced up, it's time to have a party!
