RoCM Playlist: 24 May 2025
It’s a pretty devastating week at KCSB as long time programmer Bernard Hicks passed away on May 16th. Bernard logged a 40-plus year tenure at KCSB, hosting a roots, reggae and African music show called Ital Sounds. He was also a really great guy, and I had the pleasure of chatting with him on more than a few occasions and he was a wealth of musical knowledge in addition to being an enjoyable chat. So this show is dedicated to his memory…
Here is the playlist. Don’t forget that you can listen to the RoCM online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.
