Saturday Ska

Soulful vocals, shaky trumpet, paramilitary drumsteps - what's not to like ? From 1964 or thereabouts, Marguerite :



The lovely Ms Mahfood was murdered a year or so later by boyfriend and trombonist Don Drummond, after she came home at 3 am.

While we're 'down yard way' this blog has a list, not of Huntingdonshire cabmen, but of Jamaican buses.

"As the bus travels from Kingston to Ocho Rios, and it approaches FlatBridge and takes that "leaning" motion, you can only pray that God is listening to your prayers".


Fancy getting on a bus emblazoned with the name "Skank Special" ? Or "Expendable" ?

Unfortunately that opening photograph made me think firstly of a bloke in drag and then of Wilson, Keppel and Betty.

I think I'll finish my coffee and go back to bed until I'm feeling less crabby.

Agreed with 'Anonymous'. It's the kind of thing you imagine some prat like Jamie O'Liver insisting is playing while he's doling out his inedible crap to the implausible mix of people who are always at his 'parties'...

Not ska-related but on the proximity of a performance to the performer's death, I'd like to mention King Curtis who was murdered mere hours after his astonishing rendition of Whiter Shade of Pale. This famously opens Withnail and I.

Once you've decided on a format, review all your writing documents and group them into broad categories. You can use Google Disk folders, hard drive folders, and even bound tabbed dividers/coursework help. However, you should name them appropriately to stay organized. This will help you later when you revisit a section or consider changing a particular section.
It's important to be mindful of how you save and tag your files. If you pick a convention and stick with it, it will be easier to find what you need when you need it. This will come in handy when you finally create your first draft. Or it can help you when you try to fix the papers.
