Midnight Dread #1 September 30th, 1979 as aired live on KTIM FM, San Rafael, CA (opening 80 minutes)

“33 years ago I was busy in my San Francisco apartment preparing for my first Midnight Dread reggae radio program. What to play? What to say? I made my way north into Marin County where one of the country’s last remaining free-form commercial rock radio stations KTIM resided. Underground vibes uptown now!

Wait’ll you hear my Dread Beat Report, a scorchin’ unreleased Soul Syndicate instrumental, Tosh for NORML, new Marley… Isn’t it time to time travel to the glory days of classic progressive roots rock reggae? Yes I.”

-Doug Wendt for Midnight Dread
