Tell me again who invented Rock and Roll?

Holy shit, this has got to be the grooviest thing I've ever heard. It's truly sad that newly created music is growing worse at such an exponential rate. This is true talent.

@halldormarteinsson Amen to that :D

I went to hear the full band at the Comedy Store on Sunset. The highlight of the evening was a duet by Basie and Freddie Green, but the whole show killed. I was high for days afterwards. What a great night.

@MrOldlistener that wasnt meant as an insult to any race. it's just that you have a group of people with one ethnicy except for one guy who is also playing an instrument that is the "Oddball" of the group. i guess i could be considered an "instrumentist" but certainly not a racist. even that wudnt b correct tho, u cud put any instrument up there and make a great solo with it, just as white people can be great just as black people can (or red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple people)

@pianofan97 Are you a racist?

[frostmonky208]

@bolandjf times change! old people called jazz crappy then, old people call metal crappy now! they're all different styles so get over yourself!

[pianofan97]

of course the only white guy is playin clarinetXD

[halldormarteinsson]

I don't agree that newly created music is growing worse. There's a lot of quality music around today just like there has always been a lot of crappy music. The good stuff survives, always has and always will. For the old stuff time has filtered out the shitty stuff but for the new stuff we have to look through the garbage to find the gems for ourselves. As for this song, it makes me happy and it makes me smile :) Finding songs like that is the reason I love youtube so much

OK, Mr. Count, we know you're the greatest.

@Voxateuri 666 - a very appropriate number for the beginnings of rock and roll lol.

666 likes, 6 dislikes. I'm not sure if I should change the number, but I sure do like this!
