@Wrongemboyo3 A 45 vinyl,,, sounds tasty... is the centre punched out for a juke-box, or is it pristine?

[Rutle]

Love the straw hat like the slowed down version of this song great version.

[weegingayin]

@Rutle Thanks Cat... being slow is my style... or it just might be old age

[songblurred]

I think they would even let you into the Savoy looking like that. You are a dapper gent.

[weegingayin]

@songblurred I wish I could dance like they did at the Savoy, That stuff is amazing. So full of life and joy

Love the lindy hoppers! --never thot to look for clips here.....of course, many are posted (to my delight)..this was one of my first sung "vintage tunes"...I only worked out one uke song in the 70s...it was 'Sleep Kentucky Babe"...love all the standards!!..have an old uke no one would buy--going to decoupage and play it myself (yes, that's a threat!)LOL...love the laid backness, so relaxing i need a cuppa joe, now.

@cinderellalifestyle Found out that there was a musical called "ain't misbehavin'" and in there was a mention of the Savoy Ballroom, and that led on to Frankie Manning who danced there. While watching his tribute I caught a reference to Whitey's Lindy Hoppers and the work he did on the movie HELLZAPOPPIN' The dance sequences were so energetic and acrobatic that I just had to put the links in the discussion. I love that kind of dancing.

I like your arrangement. i am having a hard time hearing some aspects. Do you apply some distortion affect?

[MrJoncando]

@waterdog226 ..Mme...he records in the bathroom..a gentleman would never use 'Pro-Tools9..hahaHa

[weegingayin]

@MrJoncando In actual fact I had it produced by Luther Blissett, and the reason some bits are so hard to hear, is because he used a very high pitched dog whistle which has an audio range outside the notes that are normally heard by humans. Dogs dance themselves to exhaustion when they hear this melody. Least ways that is what Prof Moriarty told me... believe it or not.

[MrJoncando]

@weegingayin ..played the tune to 'Me-Me..the Jack Russell sofa dog..has a brain bigger then most..I'm the mug who opens the tin remeber..??..she looked at me, as to say 'piss off..' moved up the sofa & went back to sleep..wot can I say m8..??

[weegingayin]

@MrJoncando I think your dog might be deaf... either that or the sounds were so severe that Me-me has slipped into a catatonic state... if she is still asleep in the morning suspect Prof Moriarty... he has a thing about dogs

[MrJoncando]

@weegingayin ..did I hear U say DEAF..??

she can hear a the fridge door opening in her sleep..wot's your day job..??

picking up nickels...hahaHa

[weegingayin]

@waterdog226 I may have used my low frequency radio voice.

[MrJoncando]

[weegingayin]
