it's so sad how far down the gutter music have devolved to :( the classic oldies are real talent his voice is beautiful as well as the instrumental talent yet if you try to introduce this music to any young people in modern day society is will be desposed as boring and tasteless
The 50's and the 60's are good! But the late 20's and 30's, 40's are the best! Oh ya' right now i'm listening to Casa Loma Orchestra - No Name Jive. I'm 12 and I have a record player in my bedroom. CD's are great and all. But the fact is that record players are the best. Every once in a while it's ok to pop on a record and start swinging. If you are a parent before your kids come home one day from school take their cd\dvd players and hide them some where and replace them with record players.
@bblackzero3 the thing is, not everyone has records. in fact theyre pretty damn expensive, whereas cd's cost less than half usually. also records wear down nd stuff, but they sound way better
Hearing this I suddenly remember: more than fifty years ago I listened to this in our department store. Extended play, 45 rpm, green and white sleeve. Loved it then, too.
This was my favorite song when I was three years old! My white parents taught me early about their love of Negro music and my special treat was to get Mom to put on a Fats Waller 78. Fats didn't just make music - he taught this little white girl how to use language well. My feet are still my peddle extremeties - and I thank him for that.
@lottamyaccounts ya he is my great great uncle thank you very much. my last name is waller and plus i has stuff that was his in my house hold. im also a jazz player i play piano also
@irishmonkey I think it's about racism in the 30's. A song by "Fats", highlighting the absurdity of hating someone for their colour, akin to hating someone, because of the size of their feet. Just a guess, but I'd bet a months pay on it.
does anyone have a copy of loafing time , or see saw, or the panic is on, or mr. christopher columbus, who feels like uploading these? they are sooooo nice.oh, another good one, is like a thief in the night. they are all on the same album that disappeared as things like this often do when others borrow them. thanks!
does anyone have a copy of loafing time , or see saw, or the panic is on, or mr. christopher columbus, who feels like uploading these? they are sooooo nice.
Any foot fetish people out there??? If so please watch my video "Walkie Talkie Toes", a documentary about feet and how they are percieved. I would love to read feedback! :)
YEs I always love to watch these videos 'cause he's so into the vocals, but is also playing really strung out stride on the piano.. someone said he could play a 13th or something a bit above an octave on the piano with one hand
Filmed and originally released in 1941, and shown on "Panoram" film jukeboxes (they looked like a cross between a jukebox and a TV set, only they projected short musical films- "Soundies"- instead of playing records, at 10 cents a song). In the late '40s, Official Films reissued this and other "Soundies" on 16mm for "home movie projectors".
This video just makes me smile so much: Saying it like it is in 7 different ways just to drive the point home, those expressions, the lively dance to the slow beat... "Say your pedal extremeties are colossal..."
I believe that this was a studio recording and then the band "acted it out" for this film. Not that it really matters--there are only a precious few videos of Fats in action.
Those big dogs are barking. Dusty Fletcher's Mad Hour and Saturday Night Fish Fry. Have you got a penny Benny? I wanna telephone Jenny but I just go nine cents to my name. Fat's had so much talent. he was quite a guy. This says it all.
