 REGGAE RINSE OUT [71:30m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (640)

December started out with a cold blast from Mother Nature. Toronto got hit with a massive snowstorm leaving everyone wishing that they were in Jamaica drinking Red Strip. I decided to put down my funk 45s and make a happy weather mix of reggae and Latin 45s. Here are two podcasts of fun sunny weather tunes to take your minds off the wintertime blues. Double your podcast pleasure with two mixes!

Here is the first mix with some Jamaican island 45 vibes.
