Ska Beat was a show I did in the latter part of the 90s as a community volunteer
for 88.1 WMUL, Marshall University's radio station, in Huntington, WV. The show
ran for almost three years, mostly in the Sunday noon to 2PM timeslot before
shifting to a Thursday evening 8-10PM shift. It was a great time to see live
music as many ska bands came through the Huntington area on their way to
somewhere else.
Be forewarned, I have chosen to include all of the
Public Service Announcements, weather updates, mistakes and whatever else was
recorded along with the music. Yeah, I am that lazy. Also, these shows were
taped on cassettes and as such may suffer from sitting around for all of these
years. Additionally, WMUL had an ongoing issue of a loud hum that would
periodically present itself when I was talking but normally it went away when
the music was playing. Often I forgot to hit record or to turn the tape over at
the midpoint of the show so there will be gaps in songs as well as some being
omitted entirely. I have tried to annotate when that happened..
