R.I.P. Robbie Shakespeare, Mike Nesmith, Bill Staines

8:00am - 12:03pm

A big feature on legendary Jamaican bassist, producer, composer Robbie "Bass Spear" Shakespeare in the first hour, and further tributes to Mike Nesmith and Bill Staines, also recently departed. Some seasonal fare from Galicia, Cape Breton and Vancouver; some rootsy bluesy stuff from Dalannah Gail Bowen, Crys Matthews and co., plus a rousing Celtic finale with a few memorable blasts from the past.
