The Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra "Bangarang" ft Dawn Penn.
Lee Thompson was the Sax player with Madness, and the lovely Dawn Penn is a Jamaican Ska singer from the late 1960's. Driving through London to a bit of Ska; what's not to like?
British Ska has always been great fun. Jamaican Ska much more serious. The Selecter are still going strong, with Pauline Black probably now at her best.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Well that got me going while I was eating my toast this morning!
ReplyDeleteGood. PLay it again at Lunch and Dinner!
DeleteThat was fun.
ReplyDeleteSka is usually fun music. Good dancing music.
DeleteNot me ! I'm an ABBA kinda gal
ReplyDeleteI think we're all secretly ABBA people.
