ARCHIVED "NEWS"

About This Site:
As you read on the first page, this site was created by Milt Gray, the tenor sax player of the Parka Kings. It is currently maintained by Milt and Robyn (the "old school ska groupie from Chicago"). We met over some Parka Kings tunes on Napster, and the mission began. (More about each of us later.)

The Mission:
To get FREE Parka Kings tunes to anyone that wants them. As Milt noted on the main page of the site, PKs have not received any royalties from the sale of their 7000+ CD's or the comps they were on. We began on Napster, and have found some great fans to help us with the mission. Check out the Free MP3's Link for more info.

Future Plans: updated 6/22/02
Locate new OnLine storage for the MP3's.
Behind the Tunes (yeah, it will exist some day).
