I love Jimmy Liggins' gravelly voice and the killer rhythm section of his band, the Drops of Joy. Here they are from 1953 with a foot-stomper called "Drunk", in which Mr. Liggins expounds upon some of the unfortunate phenomena associated with intoxication (one or two of which make me wince from dimly recollected personal experience).

The Drops...of Joy. Hmmm.
1953 must have been a very special year.
No wonder Liberace took off around this time?
Hey, I currently resemble this recording!
Don't know about this woogie boogie music, but Liberace - my grandma loved his show, and piano playing. We used to sing Rogers & Hammerstein together. Also live shows, ever go to the old Tivoli Mike?
Bruce, I don't even know what an "Old Tivoli" is.
But if it involves Liberace, count me out.
Haha, no it was all Carousel and South Pacific in the 50s, and vaudeville:

Actually I do like some boogie woogie, I was just stirring.
