The Ska Journey continues with Mike Alvarez, one of my best friends for over 20 years, professional music educator, and active musician in the ska scene. Last week I shared how ska came into my life, and now I want to hear another story about what happens when you discover ska during your formative years and how it can impact every other part of your life. Mike also recorded The Ska Podcast/Enthusiasm Project theme song, which was first composed by upcoming guest Patrick Boberg. •Check out Mike and his Bands:The Toy YodasGood Luck Ugly!Holy Schnikes @mikethealvarez on Twitter or X or whatever it's called. •Send a voice, text, or video message to be included in a future episode! ska@himynameistom.com ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ?Support The Ska Podcast https://patreon.com/tombuckhttps://buymeacoffee.com/tombuck•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••?
