The Darktown Strutters' Ball - The Six Brown Brothers, 1917.

I'm doing a "takedown" of this for a recital in 2 weeks. My mission: to make 5 squeaky-clean music ed majors and one aging English grad student sound like a bunch of self-taught ex-circus bandsmen from 100 years ago.

That one goes into my favorites right now! Thank you!

 

[Fletch]

You know, don't you Hadley, that you are one of only about six women on the entire internet who are so taken with the music of the 1920s and '30s. And I think half of them are right here on the Lounge...

It worries me too Fletch lol

Just love music from that time ... always have! ( I don't like all 20s and 30s music, I am hard to please,from twenty songs I might like only one) ...and then when among all that music you find that tune that really resonates in you... well, that's a good day indeed!
