Happy Ska Day kids
Well, it’s not officially ’ska day’ I suppose, but you’d never know that it didn’t exist if you happened to be at the show last night. Granted, it wasn’t like a true skank fest, but there were times on the dance floor when I had flashbacks to being at the Blues on Whyte. And that’s a good thing, considering On The Rocks isn’t at all near the university. So yeah …”Good job” to those who came out!
I also snagged Edgar (the conga player from a few nights ago) to do the extra percussion thing with the band. It was neat at times, and brought a different energy to the group. There’s a few ditties that I could ‘take it or leave it’ on ..but overall, I think it was a great addition to whatever it is we do. We hope to have him back in a few weeks when we play a double bill with the Souljah Fyre people who held the house gig before we did. That should be a fun time too.
Now I’m going to sleep. The sis is in town and we’re off to Banff for a few days of RnR (also known as ‘Uncle Babysitting’) so I’m going to need my energy for ….well, I suppose for all the Banffish stuff we’ll be doing. Whatever that means.

Edgar and Sir Pat.
