End Of The Century

End of the Century: Timeline of Ska!

Sat, Jun 23, 2018

Auntie Georgie presents a Timeline of Ska for her first end of the Century! I realized that I actually don’t know much about the history of my alleged favorite genre of music, so forgive any transgressions that may occur during my slot. AND YES, I started early, but only by a decade or so, and just for a lil’ bit. There’s important stuff back there! I’m learning! Today’s show will be a general overview of the genre. I think next time I’ll focus on a specific wave of ska. I’m looking forward to doing more research for future shows! Enjoy!
