He Has Made Me Glad

I love me some Ska music!  I love Ska bands because they have talent that just oozes.  You have to have talent in order to have the big band sound.  You can't fake big band.  Coming from a family that loves and appreciates music I have a great appreciation for Big Band.  In fact swing, ska, big band are some of my most favorite genre's of music.  Unfortunately ska is a hidden gem in the sea of musical tastes.  It enjoyed a brief surge in the early 2000's but drifted off the scene.  Along with The O.C. Supertones and Five Iron Frenzy, The Insyderz (a Detroit based ska band - woop!) have been disbanded since 2005.  BUT rumor is they are reunited and working on a new project - YAY!
Today's song, from The Insyderz, is a sample of why I love ska.  The horns are blowing and the tempo is upbeat, it takes me back to Big Band and makes me REALLY happy. Beside the fact that it is Friday so I'm happy about that, this song makes me happy - actually this song reminds me that what, or rather WHO, makes me happy/glad/joyful is God.  It is to him alone that credit for my very life goes. 
Indeed, he HAS made me glad!
Happy Friday!

Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...
