9/8/2011 Rocket Ship Ska Trip
_9/8 in a nutshell..._
Angelo Moore meets TSPO! Amy Winehouse does The Specials! Giuliano Palma does Bond_ James Bond. And that's just hour 3, led off by an early Nyahbinghi pre-ska set revolving around Count Ossie and Rico. In hour 2, Sherwood spun the complete Voodoo Suite by Perez Prado and Shorty Rogers, and the Ooh, the Opening Oldies Hour, spanned the boogie-fied pre-ska period through 2Tone.
