Happy Feet Friday

Duke Ellington and his orchestra illustrate the truth of the old saying that “It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t Got That Swing”; watch for some fine solos, including Ray Nance (violin), Joe Nanton (mute trombone) and Ben Webster (tenor saxophone) (from 1943).

  1. Just a uber humble suggestion for next Friday. Not exactly a "Happy Feet" suggestion, however. Considering the coronation next week I was thinking some Johnnie Ray tunes might be on point. Some humble suggestions follow just about now.

  2. There is actually a video called "The Obama Boogie", a celebratory piece of twaddle that you will NOT be seeing or hearing at Paco Enterprises.

  3. Well, how about the "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B"!

    Just kidding, couldn't resist.:)
