First Wave Radio #36b - Downbeat The Cleaner A gig of mine fell through, and so I decided to do some cleaning around the house. But before breaking out the mop and yellow gloves, I needed some music to motivate me. Here's a true story, I had a very brief meeting with Prince Buster and needless to say we may have gotten off on the wrong foot. I had the priviledge of going backstage as I am friends with Willi Williams, who opened for Prince Buster and Lynn Taitt. And just before Prince Buster was to go on stage, I was standing just outside the dressing room area closest to the stage, and when he came out, I must of startled him because, he looked at me and jumped a little backwards, and he looked at me over his sunglasses as if I appeared out of thin air and he looked over his shades at me, and I swear to you, he gave me 'cut eye'. I didn't say anything and I kinda felt guilty, but hey he's a pro, the show was one of the best performances I've seen and I just feel fortunate to have seen him live, even if it meant that for 2 seconds he was slightly pissed at me. Don't forget to join my facebook group 'First Wave Radio Podcast' for more useless antics.
