I’m proud of the fact that we’ve done 10 podcasts together. I’ve been buying the audio equipment, putting the music together, working on the web site and the Myspace page, setting up the voice mail number for your feedback (617-297-2557), and you’ve been listening and giving me so much great feedback in all of these areas. Thank you to my friends in the reggae music business and to my personal friends who have supported me in everything. Some of you are both in the music business and my personal friends. So #10 was not a technical clinic, but the great music makes up for my mistakes.

Playlist:
Barry Biggs – Wide Awake in a Dream
Carroll Thompson – Simply in Love
Carroll Thompson – Hopelessly Without You
Junior English – Take Care of Yourself
Victor Romero Evans – Miss Attractive
Johnny Clarke – Rocking to the A-Class Champion
Sensations – Not My Baby
