First Ska Stamp goes to the North Pole

I mailed my letter to Santa early this year. I used the new official Ska Shrine Stamp.  I’m going to be the 1st to spread Ska love with Mr. and Mrs. Kris Kringle and his whole crew. Spread the word about Ska to all the people you know: Buy a book of stamps.

That way you too can help spread the word about Ska. Use the stamp often so more people will learn about Ska.

Eric and Moose popped by the Gibson San Francisco Showroom last week and tried out the Joan Jett Melody Maker and Les Paul Special DC guitars. Photographer Pat Johnson snapped their pic as they jumped for joy with these amazing axes. Eric loved the Joan Jett model so much, he played it on a new recording with the Uptones the very next day.
