Cause And EffectCause And Effect: Thursday May 16, 7-9 PM

I'll be guest-hosting WRIR's Cause & Effect program this week on Thursday at 7 PM, a show where the host digs deep into an individual artist, a genre, a place and time — it's like a 2-hour musical essay.

My topic for the week is Toots & The Maytals, the legendary reggae group who will be performing here in Richmond on Saturday night.  More information about the gig is here:

I'll spin some of my favorite Toots tunes, a few of the artists who influenced them, many of their peers and contemporaries, some covers of songs written by Toots Hibbert, and much more.    Join me if you can — it's going to be a blast.

Oh, about the photo: that's Toots in 1975 making an in-studio appearance at Cleveland's legendary rock station WMMS, the Buzzard (aka Weed Makes Me Smile).  Check out those gnarly rock DJs.  And the lady next to Toots — is that another gnarly DJ in drag?  Beats me.
