    Hey Rude Boys and Rude Girls hope all is well.  Things are chugging along like they always do albeit a little slower these days. This episode we say to a great man, that being Greg Lee of Hepcat who was taken from this world. While he may be gone, his music will live on with us forever. With that being said I need to say that my days are a little fuller I still try to do Rocksteady Tonight live on Sundays on Boot Boy Radio. Though they are making it here less and less often. I find the motivation I had to do the show initially has waned and the support I once had has disappeared. So, it is great thought and consideration I have decided to conclude Rocksteady Tonight after this year. It's been a great ride but the last stop is quickly approaching. Hope you have all enjoyed the trip.

    One thing I have become painfully aware of is that my lack of knowledge as far as Latin American bands go is causing me to miss so much amazingly good music! And admittedly one thing I hate to be is willingly ignorant. So I named this episode Unapologetically Awesome, simply because I don't speak any Latin languages. I can't even pretend well. But this music is so amazing that I have to share it now and always. Don't let you lack of understanding limit your love of anything, especially music!  So this episode you will find a ton of Latin ska, most of it new and all sorts of other little goodies.

    Hey everyone, Here is one of my recent Sunday afternoon chill sessions. They have been moved up by 30 mins, so if you listen live, please note the new time change. So to kick off the fact that this is now 2 hours, I went off the cuff and did something very chill and very different for this show.  As you may recall I know even less about Dub than I do 2-Tone, but I know it's chill.

    Welcome this another special one off episode. Back in the 90's when Ska was rocking on all 8 cylinders another genre was making a comeback right behind it, this was Swing. I never enjoyed Swing quite as much as Ska, but I sure loved the dancing and the styles, especially all those legs! Gin and Juice and Cigarettes and a horn section was the right recipe for a good night out. The Swing Revival has largely fizzled out again in North America, but it was hopping for a little while and it was fun.

    For a long time Rick and I have been kicking around the idea of churning out an episode of Oi! Tunes, but you have the usual complications when doing such a thing. This time we said to Hell with what the idiots thing, plus we had the blessing of the Grand Pooba of Boot Boy Radio. So what you've got is a mighty fine collection of Oi! tunes from yesteryear to present day. This should be enough to incite some aggro in the most steadfast fans of Rocksteady! And don't forget the Guinness!  Let us know if you enjoy this show, we are thinking of adding one to the mix mothly.

    I have been hearing a lot about Northern Soul, even watched a flick, still I know nothing about  it!  Though I do know quite a bit about Soul and Motown coming from just across the river from Detroit. So I figured with the world spinning as wild and crazy as it is right now we could all use a little Soul.  So I gave it to you, Super Soul Sunday so put a pep in your step, some sing in your thing, some dance in your prance. I had a great time doing this show, hopefully you enjoy it as much.

    Hey folks - This weeks episode is the accidental accident. We carried over a lot of tune left over tunes from previous shows. When we played it out it seemed to be very politically motivated.  While we have our opinions, which very likely mirror your own. This is a place of music so we try to check the opinions at the door, we all enters as friends and exit as friends. Regardless we hope you are doing well and staying safe.  And just ignore the show number, I have a few back dated show I want to edit and upload, you haven't missed a thing!

    Before you tell me I know #49 is missing. This was a special episode, so I jumped #49 to get this out. With Toots Hibbert currently suffering from Covid 19, and his family requesting prayers this needed to be done today. I know not everyone is religious so praying may not be in the cards. Everyone is a fan of Toots though, so by playing my music and singing it out loud we can generate some positive mojo to help pull The King through this most difficult time.
