I cannot stop watching this. It's like...hypnotizing. It inspired me further to go out and buy a banjo. I'll probably never be a fraction as cool as these girls.
@tenorlord 19 actually now that i see the girl in the back and the one playing piano on the left side, either way they are all either dead or old enough to be my grand mother so chances are slim!
The song is Irving Berlin's Shaking the Blues Away....I thought I had heard it on the McGinn version of Show Boat as a background song. I could not confirm that. But this indeed is terrific. It would be great if the folks on You Tube would be constructive about comments. Nobody is forced yo listen to any clip.
the redoubtable 78 collector Joe bussard showed me this at his house several years ago on vhs. glad to find it here. thought id never see it again. thanks for posting.
ahhhh, what could i say??? fantastic!!!!!!!!

Plenty of cuties in back too! The one dead center is the only loser I see. (..but she probably has a great personality or something.)
