I was in Skankhead and played sax, and co-wrote our track on this LP. Josh Michaels and I wrote it at my house during lunch, he played piano, I played sax.<BR/><BR/>Skankin Pickle's connection to Skankhead is through Mike Park and Lars. Mike was briefly in Skankhead. (I was out of town for this recording session, and he sat in for me. He also played a show or two with Skankhead.) Lars played off and on with early Skankhead.<BR/><BR/>But the final Skankhead horns were me and Mark on sax, and Don on trombone.<BR/><BR/>I was in a different band with Mike Mattingly. That's the Skankhead connection to him. So, we all sort of knew or knew of each other. Mike, Mike and Lars met and got the pickle going. But it was pretty much a different band from Skankhead proper.<BR/><BR/>Bye!<BR/>Darryl SweetUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888132576611157689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744444020349998004.post-69280347569239860702008-08-25T13:26:00.000-04:002008-08-25T13:26:00.000-04:00Andrew:Sure, I'm happy write up a Shots in the Dar...Andrew:<BR/><BR/>Sure, I'm happy write up a Shots in the Dark revew of "NYC Ska Live" LP.

(You remember the day you purchased this record?!) Yes, Skankhead evolved into SP (I mentioned this early in the posting). And if people discover these other bands because of the No Doubt connection, that's a good thing!Steve from Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074565580429334218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744444020349998004.post-35677003204627512602008-08-18T15:39:00.000-04:002008-08-18T15:39:00.000-04:00This was an awesome album, I picked up two LP copi...This was an awesome album, I picked up two LP copies of it at Bleecker Bobs circa '92.
