hi all -

I have a simple question -

I will be working merch for The Skatalites next week and I will also be interviewing Doreen Shaffer.

Is there any questions that you'd like me to ask?

I have a good list going, but I'd like to get other peoples' opinions.

Thanks!!!

That is awesome..Doreen Shaffer is such an adrable little woman..:)..I fell in love with her when She and The Skatalites played in Oslo,I think every body that was at the concert did..It was at a place that only took about 400 people..and it was cramed..:)

Maybe ask her about how it was to be a woman in such a male dominated industry that the ska/reggae music-scene was and still is,and how she coped with it and who her inseperations was..If you dont have that written down already..:)

I have something somewhat similar. I'm really interested in her early career, since not much is known about it (well, that I can find).

I also want to ask about the whole copyright thing, too.

Oh yes the whole copyright thing would be nice to know,cool I'm looking very forward to read it when you are done,cool that you get to talk with her..that is indeed awesome.

she's incomparable. but one thing is, i'm really confused of all the different spellings of her lastname(Schaeffer, Schaffer, etc...), i believe it is SHAFFER but i sure need an affirmation.

ok i think i have a question... of all the singers she had a duet with, did she liked best(musically)? and who would she want to sing with that didn't actually happen.

thanks jo!

that's a good question!

Also, I'm pretty sure its "shaffer". That's what I've seen it as the most over the years (and on sites like wikipedia). Plus, I have a poster in my living room with her name splled that way.
