  • Boy, this is steaming hot swing. The singer (Billie H.) and the drummer ("Papa" Jo Jones) are "talking" to each other, I swear I can hear.

  • love this recording of this song, thanks ! The ultimate swing song, yet very fluid.

    And how she smoothly alters the lyrics to mention the drummer (Jo Jones) and the band leader (Count Basie)

  • one complaint: TOO SHORT

  • love it ... swingin' very fine!
