Ska. So much love. I’ll never forget my introduction to it: Bonefish at the little community ballroom on campus at UF!

Another legendary King of Ska is Desmond Dekker & The Dragoneers, who’s music can be heard on many 007 movies- I share that passion with Naomi, as the Roots in Caribbean music dates back 2 generations in our shared family!

Desmond Dekker was for sure a legend, a king, and a godfather of ska! 🥰

Are you related to Mr. Dekker?? Is that what you mean by ‘shared family’ or were you referring to being from the Caribbean? I’m intrigued! (Also love 007 movies.)

Im remembering dancing to his music on Grand Cayman Island in the 60’s, after sneaking out of our hotel room & riding on a motorcycle to the nightclub called ‘Hell’. I share familial ties with Naomi & her childhood in the Caribbean.
