So, I really think that a combination of bluegrass and ska would be really hella cool. Anyone doing anything like that? I can almost hear it in my head (all fiddles and guitars and mandolins, and horns, in a ska rhythm). I'd love to listen to any band doing that kind of hybrid-fusion.

I want to find out the name of the song that's playing in the Y do you think "Lick" anti-tobacco ad? Its a catchy ska song i remember from high school. I probably even own it, but i don't know where to look in my own collection. If anyone can help... oh MAN this place will be the best!
