Okay, technically he wasn’t my bus driver, but he drove for our district. (The things you find late at night when you can’t sleep.)

Meet Sammy, Harborfields’ rock steady bus driver.

That's rad.

A good reminder to everyone that Ska's not dead.

And don’t forget the GRM/ska connection as that‘s our Gabe on the horn:

In reply to Colin Wood :

Obviously. I saw Less Than Jake last year and they were still rad.

She doesn't drive a bus but I have spent many an afternoon happy hour with the amazing Miss Norma Fraser. She has a million stories about the birth of Ska in Jamaica, being a young woman and having her music stolen from her.

I wonder when a kid dropped some trash on the bus floor, if he didn't say, "Pick it up, pickit up, pickitup-pickitup-pickitup!!!"

I was gonna post about our Cool bus driver from when I was in middle school. But came up with this... Madness from about the same time period. Back when MTV was Cool.

The school bus driver was in his 20's and ended up busting one of my ex-girlfriends for shoplifting. He was also a undercover security guard at the Kmart by her house.

No, but one time he hit a parked car while trying to pull out of the school driveway, and that's pretty much the same.

I saw the Scofflaws at the WOW Hall, and I'm pretty sure disappointed Mr Brooks by missing the reference when I crossed paths with him on the stairs to the bar and he asked if we were in the mood for ska and I just replied that, yeah, we were all looking forward to the show.

I guess it's a classic and I just never, uh, picked it up.
