So says Ross. OK, here is another, studio video, version of 'Gangsters' from the Specials, for Gordo, big pottery fan. Like I say, I was gonna put these up this am, but got sidetracked by the missus.
In comments, Lucia mentions I must have a happy happy life, and yes, I do. I sit around in my own private fog thinking of bowls and piggies and zebras and teapots and put it all together. I am actually quite reclusive and shy, rarely go out, spend most of my time rattling around house and studio, with the missus and the dogs and cats. I have met artists with cheerful and happy, cute work, but they have been sour and crazy, oddly. I am pretty cheerful and content, I love to laugh and joke and goof around, and know I am a darn lucky guy to be working at this, rather than roofing or digging ditches or flipping burgers.

Personally, I think you can tell an artist's mood by the work they produce.
Ska is such a lost artform. I'm not certain if it's a good thing to admit that Madness drew me into it or not?
House of Fun!
Gordo, I think that the Specials were IT. The were SKA. They were also PUNK, in my mind. Think of how unusual it was in the 70s for a band to have both white and black guys, but it is obviously a natural mix of talents. Gotta see what you have over there, at the house.
MMMM, OK, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, from New England=modern ska.
Hey everybody, don't forget to go down and dig 311, a SKAish band yesterday, with their 'Amber' tune, and the visuals make you wanna quit and move to the beach.
You're right gordo, those kids are having FUN hopping around.
Oh, I had completely forgotten about the Bosstones!
Yes, gordo, ska, but a different and less frantic style. And then 311, sorta mellow ska, totally unfrantic.
shy? you? i don't think so.
I've known you, big D, since before the mustache. Your opinon on me doesn't count. I wish I was half as charming as you, though, D.
