5/10/2012 Rocket Ship Ska Trip
_5/10 in a nutshell..._
A stretched-out 4@4 (with 3 tunes in the 7:+mn. range), a GotchaSKAllipop straight off a band's website, Ska from Studio 5 and a ska Rocky theme were highlights of Hour 3. Working our way back, Sherwood got funky with some MFSB, El Coco and Milt Jackson in an hour that kicked off with the three Y's... Yello, YMCK and YMO. What makes 'em the "Three Y's"? Just the fact that they're back-to-back-to-back in the playlist, y'all... and if I find three _more_ Y's to run consecutively, then _they'll_ be the three Y's. Lastly... this was the week we learned of the passing of The Skatalites' mighty Lloyd Brevett on the upright, so we put together a Skatalites-driven all-star cast in the opening set of the "Ooh"...including the Wailing Wailers, Jackie Opel, The Maytals and Lee Perry. The Lloyds of Kingston are now reunited in the Great Beyond... May Knibb and Brevett Rock (steady) In Peace.
