Plus I had a really good live band expereince at a punk ska
event featuring a band called "Less Than Jake" and some others.

These days I go out very little. There quite frankly is nothing
to go out for.

But my first ska experience was from a radio show that
was on at Sunday at 12 noon and it sounded great. Good for
cleaning house. _That_ program introduced me to the
retro swing movement of the late 90's. I would have been
unaware of the new swing at all otherwise.

Ska for me is the 'missing link' in the pop music chain. It should
have a place in club performance everywhere. But it's only in
big cities where it has had any presence at all.

I am old. I am an old fart. There is no place for me in
clubs even if I drank or smoked. It's just alien. But still,
I would go out to see a ska band in performance again.
