Thanks so much, Steve, for gracing my FR&B pages, and treating "Inside Tracks" with such loving and respectful (and hilarious) care! I'm still in awe of your ease and ability to share such personal...uh, tails with your audience in your inimitably entertaining way! Keep it up!

Also - you should click the link to the YouTube video I added in my comment above. I think this is a band you would really like. Not metal, but a pretty tight Japanese rock steady band.

In my search for YouTube videos for the Toots and the Maytals original version of "Monkey Man," I cam across this amazing version from Oreskaband, an all-female Japanese ska group. Their energy is crazy infectious and their musicianship tight as nails.
