As many of you know by now, we lost a legend last week in the world of 2 Tone and second wave ska: Terry Hall. Terry's work and talent expanded far beyond the world of ska, but his imprint that he made within it will be forever remembered. That's why this week on the program, we remember Mr. Hall by playing nothing but his band the Specials. There will indeed be a special hour of music to say the least.
