[J.W. Racing]

No more moshing for me, I am getting too old and fragile.Next concert I will stick with dancing on the wall.I guess thats what 5 Heinekens do to me.liquid courage.

Ska is the grandfather to Reggae music.Many created rocksteady and reggae after slowing down the uptempo dance beat of ska.

Ska Trivia - If you know what band was the creators of ska in the 60s, then you know ska! no googling either ...

[deddth]

skatalites.

[J.W. Racing]

You are very smart,IIRC the Skatalites were founded by Don Drummond who was deemed insane by doctors;but that mind sure created a genre. They were followed closely by Byron Lee and the Dragonaires,but some may argue between the two(chicken or the egg).

[deddth]

wish you all can listen to what i'm listening to: tokio ska paradise.

two beautiful covers from them: tiny elephant and starlight.


also please, please google mimi maura and her cover of the carpenters' close to you.
