    The moon belongs to everyone
    The best things in life are free
    The stars belong to everyone
    They gleam there for you and for me
    The flowers in spring, the robins that sing
    The moonbeams that shine
    They're yours, they're mine
    And love can come to everyone
    The best things in life are free
    And love can come to everyone
    The best things in life are free

      Greetings from the California Delta, where I’m sheltering from coronavirus, politics and wildfires by remembering what it was like to hear orchestras play! And my introduction to ska music in 1982, sophomore in high school:

      @@formerlyferalfelines9027 Every good ska fan remembers their entrance into skaville! For me it was a roommate in college who played The Bosstones in her room while getting high with her boyfriend. I loved the sound of the horns & catchy tunes. I then saw them play in Boston with a couple of my friends. Then I started becoming a dj at my college radio station & started to play songs from the group, Mephiskapheles & another tune called "Fat Lady Skank". That's how I learned that this style of music with horns had a name. Then I went home for the winter & found out that there was another dj playing ska music on his radio show. He played The Batman Theme by Skavoovie & The Epitones. I bought the CD that that tune was on & that was it for me! Skavoovie was the first group that ever made me fall in love with the music. Then I went back & started listening to 60's ska, rocksteady, early reggae, calypso, & even soca. I don't really go to shows anymore like I used to, & don't listen to the music as much as I did, but I still love it. I always will.

    Hope all involved can feel satisfied that this few minutes of vid - and the many minutes it took them to create it - made the world a happier place.
