Jazzy program as a Tribute to the late Ron Sweetman + Thank you to Funding Drive Donors!!

Welcome to THIS ISLAND EARTH, CKCU's ''world music'' program, broadcast every Sunday afternoon from 1 to 4 p.m. EST. Stay with us this afternoon (Sunday 1-4pm) at CKCU 93.1 FM in the greater Ottawa area or at ckcufm.com from anywhere around the world. This afternoon we thanks all the donors who pledged during our recent Funding Drive 2018. In addition we honour Ron Sweetman, our wonderful CKCU colleague who hosted the CKCU jazz show, "In a Mellow Tone" for some 39 years. Ron passed away on on October 24 at the age of 86 years old. We, the hosts of "This Island Earth" were regular listeners of "In a Mellow Tone". So, this afternoon we feature a program of jazz from all over the globe - worldly jazz. Enjoy. Keep it locked here at CKCU, the Mighty 93.1 FM.
We pay tribute to Ron Sweetman, starting off with a great jazzy, rhythmic track from the Trinidadian group, Black Truth Rhythm Band.
