First Wave Radio #17-Bare Bones Welcome to the Bare Bones Show...lots of vocals...little bass and drum...I'm a rhythm man but one must always respect the art of song writing...just to note 3 Canadian artists feartured here...yours truly playing bass on one of the tracks...a couple of songs written by Bob Marley the last of which was performed by Bob Marley, which tells you the strength of his song writing...even with a mediocre sound recording, his talent as a musician/performer/song writer really shines.

First Wave Radio #15 - The Life Much respect to the late Montreal Native Oscar Peterson. I have never heard anyone play an instrument so fast with grace and style, groove and swing like Oscar Peterson did. His body of work is huge, and I have not even dented his discography but the one album that sticks out of my mind is West Side Story. This show (although recorded a week before his passing) is dedicated to him.
