"The Darktown Strutters Ball" -Miff Mole and his Molers

[ouwelul222]

I saw Miff in 1956 playing his ass off on crutches propped against a wall!

Spoke with him on the break..told him I was a new trombone player..

He told me to play until my lip was bleeding, and then keep going! I partially attribute my high level in the business to that advice that day!

Just keep on playing, he said!

@ouwelul222

Your home page says you are 60 years old. So you were just 5 when you saw Miff Mole?

@MoleDFigg lol u rite im sick of these faggz come on youtube and tell they lies

[ir1956ish]

I always think of the Tom and Jerry cartoons when I hear this song.

me and my pal used to listen to the molers almost none stop in the 1970's and all our school friends thought we were mad. It still turns me on now when I hear them. The greatest. My old friend presented me a while ago with a set of these sides on Parlophone 78's, having managed to collect for himself a set on the U.S. OKeh label. A treasured possession.

@Mr73050 I personally love getting one of the "Parlo's" because they're usually in better condition and often pressed in quieter shellac!  Lucky you to get a 'set' of anyone on Parlophone!

I have noticed others videos chopped lately. What's the deal on this? Is this accidental or some new policy or what?

Hi Scott,

I've no idea why "clipping" by YouTube occurs, but I have been told to make sure that the 'visuals' continue past the 'audio' and, I must say, this appears to work.

Best regards, Clive.

miff mole sounds like the calvary charging

[MoleDFigg]

Did you mean 'cavalry' or were you referring to his crucifiction?

[up2space]

@MoleDFigg lmao thanks. i meant cavalry.

Sorry about that chopped-off ending! Otherwise a cool cut.
