16. Just FANTASTIC!!!

Thanks so much for posting. I heard the original for the first time a few months ago and I knew my 79 year old dad and 66year old mom would know it. I went to visit and, man, did they get down. It's one of their all time favorites, with my dad showing me the jump they'd do as young folks whenever JACK was sung. I can't wait to share this with them.:think: I think you've made my weekend!:applause::headbang: :party: :hi: :loveya: :hug: :patriot:

[malaise]

25. Kick for the Saturday morning crowd

:hi:

26. Beautiful! And an amazing co-incidence.......

Yesterday, when the Dow was down about 800 points - I started musing, in a fantastical kinda way, about how much this crash might change America. I imagined things like Swing music and Model A's in the street. Just as I was doing so a all-original, restored Model A (2-door coupe!) approached in the oncoming lane. It was so startling to have that happen at that exact minute that I was genuinely spooked - just a little. We both had a red light so I had time to see that the people inside did not have on straw hats or baggy suits but the usual t-shirts and jeans of today.

And now, this morning, you provide the Swing music!

(that is some kinda excellent little solo that guy does on the harmonica, btw!)

[malaise]

28. Nice post

Both of my grandpas were jazz men and hubby is obsessed. Yep this is lovely and I agree re the guy on the harmonica. :hi:

[FredStembottom]

36. Back at'cha!

:hi:

(Wow! Jazz Granpas. I'm envious!)

[tilsammans]

27. ROCKIN' the vote!

Thanks!

:yourock:

[beac]

29. Love it!

[Subdivisions]

34. Cool!

[DemoTex]

35. As a former jazz, swing, and big band bassist, I am impressed!

What a great idea. What a tight tune. I hope the Obama campaign can use this in the big national spotlight. And I hope this earns the Will Galison Orchestra a center-stage gig at the Obama inauguration!

Thanks for posting this, malaise. It made my day.

37. Exceptional. Whoooo! Thank you, malaise. n/t
