Happened upon your post here yesterday, thank you! <br /> My memory told me the BBC was in attendance to film a documentary on the resurgence of SKA in the USA. Searching the WWW + YouTube a few times over the years lead to a big pile of nothing. You start to doubt yourself, right?<br /> Yesterday The Selecter's Facebook page posted about the "2Tone: The Sound of Coventry" documentary and of course it spurred me to have another search. It's all here Marco! The filming of my blazer's lapel and my Specials badges + me up front - when I had hair ;-)! You see, after the camera person filmed my badges I flipped them the fingers and gathered there went my chance to make the BBC cut. Thrilled to see they simply didn't show "the fingers" but kept the footage! I shared the YouTube link with Dustin. <br /> Personally I am still into music as I ever was and if someone needs the Bigger Thomas LP it may still be available from the folks here at A Day In The Life Records. Over the past year I sold them 90% of my record collection for them to find new homes for. I bought it that night, Marco! <br /> Hope you are well.Chris "Sgt.

A quiet man of many talents, a teacher, a song writer, a poet and a philantrophist, who left this world as he lived without fanfare or ego. A modest religious man who would rather offer a helping hand rather than blow his own trumpet. Google Dr. John Folkes and read his obituary. Go quietly into the night a famous man who never got what he deserved. Every Jamaican artist that came afer him should be thankful and grateful to him, especially Shaggy.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-44275706391209109652022-09-02T23:17:00.559-04:002022-09-02T23:17:00.559-04:00I was looking for information on the ON Club (how ...I was looking for information on the ON Club (how I looked it up). It must have just opened the few times I went there in 1980. I had a friend (both 27 at the time) who lived a few miles from it and we went there one night. The Box Boys and a reggae band (Steel Pulse?) were playing. We both liked rock from the 60s-70s, but had gotten into punk and new wave. Hell, I even began getting into folk. I was transfixed with the Box Boys. I wasn't into dancing, but that music just made you want to move around. Sadly, I was gone from the area for many years, and every once in a while I'd attempt to find out what ever happened to it. Thanks to the internet, I got to re-visit this tonight.

I was doing a lot of the reggae art as jb:rastagrafix at the time, hanging out at Ruel Mills' Kingston Records on Fillmore St., before Tony W became a DJ. Such good time and good vibes.
