  • @Shangas Another Jeeves and Wooster fan! *Internet High Five!*

  • I'm reading "Rage to Survive" - The Etta James story. She writes, her musical nature was noticed when she was an infant. She loved jukeboxes and this particular song by Meade Lux Lewis. She would holler until someone put a nickel in the box, so she could dance & sing along with "baby sounds" The second it was through, she'd start crying ntil someone played "the damn thing again. And again. And again". Great song and a great book, well worth reading.

  • Dizzying to ears and eyes - 21st Nov 1935

  • "Nightclubbing again tonight, Jeeves?" 

  • trainsntile - have you looked for this a 'keyboard Kings of Jazz' LP?

    My brother-in-law had this.

    I think his daughter inherited it!

  • "This is a country band...we don't play no Boogie...Woogie!" That was a line from the biopic Ray with Jamie Foxx...I always thought it was so funny...but I've taken an interest in Boogie-Woogie, Jazz, Swing, Jump Blues and Blues thanks to a good friend of mine and WW2 veteran Mr. Willie Miner...RIP

  • Everytime my son sits down to practice the piano (he plays by ear), I beg him to practice boogie woogie or rag time- what a beautiful expression of energy on a piano! I love all these old greats and always feel like getting up and dancing when I listen to them.

  • Picked up this same 78 from an antique shop in 1974 with a crack from the lead-in to the run-out. The lady said I could have it for free because any cracked records were trash. I was 16 then, and I still have and love this record, even with the scratches, hiss and 'tic-tic-tic' that I hear. The antique shop has gone out of business MANY years ago, but I'm searching eBay for a GOOD copy. :))

  • Nice...
