So much on YouTube now. I can watch it on my TV all day.
I remember very clearly playing along to the Specials on my first drum kit back in '81. I was introduced to the band by my geography teacher, 1980 in high school, who discussed the theme of Ghost Town to the class, racial tension that existed in the UK in those years. Watching the Detectives by Elvis Costello go me into Ska. Or maybe Desmond Decker's, The Israelites when I was a really little kid (maybe 5) we had it in a 45 single.
