Think Of Your Future

Just got the sad news that legendary ska and reggae trombone player Emmanuel 'Rico' Rodriguez has passed away. The man from Wareika, who shone on the Specials' 2-toned version of A Message To You Rudy, was 80. Miss him.

In a bad mood? Just play this way over the top ska tune from '64, preferably at top volume. Works wonders. Saddle up!
