The featured musicians were Go Al Disco and Bob, two bands from Wildwood, New Jersey. They were both very good and talented for their young age. After a while, I began to notice an unexpected, underlying religious message to the music. They were preaching the word of God in between their ska songs about God and Jesus. I don't have anything against religious music, but that's not what I'm looking for when I'm listening to music. The only song I have ever liked that deals with Jesus is the Dead Milkmen song "I Dream of Jesus." Go Al Disco was still good though; it was just unusual for Special 4 o^clock till midnight me to see people skank in the name of the Lord. Bob did do a few covers of 70's and 80's songs, plus a song about Wildwood. That, and the trombone player from Go Al Disco was good at doing backflips.
