Happy Feet Friday

Artie Shaw and the boys heat up the Carioca in this live recording.



On quite another "note", so to speak, here's the Schnickelfritz band from 1942 playing an appropriate tune for the Thanksgiving holidays, Turkey in the Straw.

Schnickenkeschnickens remind me of Congress.

I'm not Artie sure of your usage of carioca here. Cariocas are folks that live in Rio de Janeiro - beautiful place - and have a particular accent, if not patois.

I may have only eaten turkey twice in my life, and only cold (seriously )!

I like some of that old style American music.

Robert: It's a swing version of a dance number called the Carioca, which originally featured Fred and Ginger in the movie Flying Down to Rio.
