Raised as a child 11 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles in the city of Pico Rivera @cityofpicorivera guitarist dauntless Dale, mucho very fond times I directly was a guitar playing part of SoCal ska music product of Southern California with The Specs. This is Talk The Ska @talktheska hosted by Mattie J. a weekly podcast that brings ska infused tunes from all over the world. @skaparade _____________________ A lot of music was only released on analog cassette format. The Specs were no exception, a ska band originally from Riverside, California, that were very busy, and active in the late 80’s to early 90’s. with catchy original ska songs and tasty tight jumping horns. _______ My finest ska band I toured, gigged, and recorded guitar playing on “My Soles are Worn” from «Changes to the Few» (Sinbad Records 1991) and «California Ska Quake» CD/Cassette (Moon Records 1992) in renowned original ska band THE SPECS featuring smooth-voiced ol’ bandmate pal singer, songwriter, trumpeter Mikey Menchaca @michael.menchaca of Ventura California top reggae group Legalizer and F.O.E. (Freedom of Expression) from Los Angeles County, Southern California. _______________________________________ "The Specs were an up tempo third wave ska band that also incorporated reggae into their sound.It all amounted to a lot of skankin' and a lot of fun. Back then Sublime "featured" Brad, No Doubt was packing back yard parties with easily 100 high school kids in Anaheim. Fishbone @woodywoodstraw was the greatest thing to come out of Compton at the time to allow us the privilege to open for them including the Skatalites".- The late amazing American veteran hero, tremendous, spectacular gifted drummer of The Specs Mr.Scott Hamilton Wylie. _______________________________________________________ #californiaska#ska#Westcoastska#reggaeville#socalska#skasnotdead#SanDiegoMusicScene#socalreggae#LAska#Calireggae#losangelesmusic#sounddiego#TheSpecs#805Music#OCSka#SantaBarbaraMusic#LosAngelesMusicScene#sandiegoreggae#SoCalMusicians#SkaTapes#90sSka#sessionguitarist#LosAngelesGuitarist#reggaeguitarist#skamusic#Californiareggae#ThirdWaveSka#SkaCore#Californiamusicians#VenturaMusicScene (at Huntington Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B27HGRKgUm8/?igshid=13vb36etl6308
