About Me

Ska Weekend pictures are posted at the a.k.a:RUDIE 'Space.
I'm passionate about Jamaican music (Ska, Rock Steady, Reggae) and equally possessed by a love of Aviation History (particularly combat aircraft of WW2). I'm the son of a B-24 Liberator pilot and the little brother of one of the original Beatlemaniacs, so I come to my primary interests genetically I suppose. I am a published author and editor of WW2 Combat Aviation subjects and a professional keyboardist specializing in traditional Jamaican styles.
You can find me as easily onstage at a Reggae show as you could find me tending Warbirds on the flight line. I try to fill the time in between with website development and internet consulting. Our sweetheart Urs from Ska-Pics.de attended many of the shows during the 2007 Eastern Standard Time European tour, and posted a few vids from that excursion. You can find a lot of her photos from the tour at THIS LINK . Here's a fun video of my 'feature', based on the Stalag 17 riddim, filmed in Salzburg, Austria.

What a great time we had that night with the good doctor and the St. Petersburg Ska Jazz Revue!! "A dis-ya one a-come from Nashville, Tennesee!"

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can chat the mike freestyle about different A-2 jacket manufacturers and their relative design variations... quoting contract numbers!

WHEEL UP, SELECTAH!!! I am not much into the game of accumulating thousands of 'friends' here on MySpace, so I don't approve everyone automatically. Don't be offended if I deny your friend request because I don't already know you. A message along with your request is usually enough to turn the key.

Bill Hicks, where are you when we need you?

Anyone who knows me well, knows what an important part humor plays in my life and my philosophy. Bill Hicks died in 1994, but there has never been a more desperate need for his incisively comic point...

I'm not big on blogging, but I have to alert you to the insult to the victims of Malmedy that Bill O'Reilly has TWICE prepetrated, and then perpetuated.In the aftermath of this BLATANT insult, Fox New...
