The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril XII

Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra, "Monolith Ska" from Tombstone (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: "Monolith Ska" is instrumental; I first encountered the Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra through the lyrical "All of Me" from the Birth of the Fourth Wave of Ska compilation. Yes, a contemporary compilation album!

The Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra is the fifth "ska orchestra" with which I'm acquainted, after the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, the Melbourne Ska Orchestra, the Kyiv All-Girl Ska Orchestra, & the Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra. Is there a minimum number of persons required to qualify as a "ska orchestra"? Twelve? Thirteen? Anthing more than ten?
