Its very sad and terrible news, I put up a copy of Israelites for anyone who doesn't have it and wants to channel him in tribute.

RIP, Des-mon'. You brought ska to the big, big world. For which I thank you. And light a candle.

I suspect these are links to dodgy Russian skinhead sites, but the music is the same.

Rude Boy Train.

A whole heap of other tunes follows. I have a fairly conservative hosts file and refuse all cookies, but you might think or surf differently. Anyway,
this has lots of really cool sounds.

I don't quite know how to see Desmond off, but I'll certainly have a beer for him.
