About Me:
Grew up in Orange County, Ca in the 80's and heard Ska for the first time via my older brother when I was 15. Bought my first ska record....... Too Much too young, The Special A.K.A. Live which included Longshot Kick d' Bucket, Liquidator and Skinhead Moonstomp and I was hooked. I have been lucky enough to see The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners, The Selecter, The English Beat and many others play live! "Once a Rudeboy always a Rudeboy" It will go with you to the grave!
