ska = skank

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.
