| To begin: A tribute to Prince Buster who passed away on September 8. Prince Buster was sometimes referred to as the 'King of Ska', but he was also a key artist and producer during the transition to rocksteady and early reggae. |

| It was Prince Buster who, perhaps, provided the blueprint to the 'one step beyond' ska revival in the late ‘70s led by the English Beat, the Specials, and, of course, Madness. |

| I was in Austin last weekend to attend the Eastside Kings Festival organized by Eddie Stout of Dialtone Records (www.dialtonerecords.com). And while on my program of September 3 I previewed a few of the artists that appear, I am recapping on this program, so a couple of the artists I saw at the festival, specifically: Gregg A. Smith, who along with Ernie Johnson and Bobby Patterson, delivered a great soul-blues evening at Bad Lands on Chicon; and even though I played her on my previous program, Barbara Lynn because she delivered the live music set of the year, perhaps of the past few. |

| #DJforaDay Bruce Anderson has 'taken over the controls' for the final hour of the program.
You may know Bruce as a pollster and commentator on public opinion through his role as a now former member of CBC's At Issue Panel and his online columns for the Globe and Mail. What you may not know is that he is also passionate about music. So, at my request, Bruce has kindly crafted four sets of country influence tunes. |
