Skammentary: "Grazin' in the Grass" was written as an instrumental by Philemon Hou for trumpeter Hugh Masekela, for whom the song was a № 1 hit in 1968. Lyrics were added by Harry Elston of the Friends of Distinction, for whom the song was a № 3 hit in 1969. The Joint Ventures of Ska comp debuted in 1996. I was introducted to The Scofflaws in 2021 by Bravo Charlie, an online acquaintance & brother Knight of Columbus who performed in the ska band The Assassinators in the '90s & opened for The Scofflaws. (The Assassinators made their SKApril debut in '21.)
