The Pappa Don Radio Show #9 – All About Ska

In this show, I explored the Ska music genre – one of my favorites, because many Ska bands are “anti-establishment” and have a rough-and-tumble attitude/sound about them.  As many of you know, that appeals to me.  Also tonight was fun because I had a particularly stressful “establishment” week and I was looking forward to spinning these tunes.  In fact, I was so excited to get to work I totally screwed up the first 30 minutes of my show – I forgot to start recording ( I had planned to submit this show for grading) and then my recorder was mysteriously set to “microphone” input instead of “line” input, so my recorded levels were severely over-driven.  The first (brilliant) 30 minutes of my show had to be tossed.  True confession, I get madly OCD with all of my school projects.  When things don’t go exactly as planned it takes me a while to recover, as this recording shows.  I did soldier through, and I think it’s worthy enough to put out there…  Sit back, relax, and enjoy a playful romp through the Ska genre.
