I was still a bit jet-lagged from flying into town earlier that morning, but I think I mustered some actual enthusiasm on the mic.  Things were kept fairly light and upbeat, with a fair amount of 60′s popcorn ska, modern acoustic ska and reggae, and some laid-back rocksteady.  See the links below for informative links to music and videos
