Did you ever go to Fitzgeralds? When I lived in Houston, I must have been there once a week to hear somebody play. Good punk and ska. Is that place still open or has the building fallen down? ----- Original Message ---- From: Shelby Shook <sloweyefasthand@xxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 9:10:07 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: Bulligras: Proposed Campfire Topic HAHA very nice. Spell checker bombed that sentence. Man I remember when Ska was the "big thing" for kids in my highschool in my freshman year. I even had a Ska band for a while complete with a horn section.

He might as well have said "ooh ee ooh a a, ting tang, wallawalla bing bang" which in some South American languages means, "bring me my bong and change the water". Which is definately off topic. We must be firm.

It is characterized by a walking bass line, accented guitar or piano rhythms on the offbeat, and in some cases, jazz-like horn riffs. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant musical genre of Jamaica, and it was also popular with British mods. Many skinheads, in various decades, have also enjoyed ska (along with reggae, rocksteady and other genres).[2][3][4][5] Music historians typically divide the history of ska into three periods: the original Jamaican ska scene of the 1960s, the 2 Tone ska revival that started in England in the late 1970s, and the third wave ska movement, which started in the 1980s. ----- Original Message ---- From: j duncan <whocanduncan@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 11:44:36 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Bulligras: Proposed Campfire Topic Did I say, "Brou ha ha?"
