OT: Friday Night Thread "Shuck & Jive" Excerpted from another thread...

[BigDrop]

"Shuck and jive."  From a post by concha on another thread.  I had a response and thought it might be of interest.  It's certainly not political.

Here we go, from 1964:

Puttin', struttin', jivin', striving, thrivin' and arrivin'...

Easing the pain with rock and roll gain.

Oohh pappa ditta, oohh pappa ditta, this is yo' leadah"

The soul geatah, the teenage geatah, the soul upsettah, the teenage mo bettah.

Ain't no shuck, ain't no jive-I is Alive!.

The blue goose hangin' loose, the lewd dude, the boss with the hot sauce...

E-tiddli addio, it's the daddio of the radio.

Ooh whee-it's me!

The geater with the heater...

Props to Jerry Blavat, Jocko Henderson and Barry Richards.

And to a corn field in Gaithersburg, MD where I worked as a disc jockey for three or four weekends from midnight to 6 in the morning copying them as best I could.

There are a lot of stories here worthy of a Friday night.  No matter if someone reading this is much younger-certainly not older.  But it happened.  It really did.  And thanks to thinking that Trump can shuck and jive.

But it didn't start with him.  We're the same age and I, for better or worse, also know how to shuck and jive.

"showin' my age and earning the wage..."

Go straight to the 2:05 mark of this link and learn how to shuck and jive...on a Friday night.

Greatest disc jockey of all time!  Enjoy:  

The actual 60+ minute recording can be purchased on amazon.  There are five or six parts which are broke up on Youtube.  This is from XERB and excerpted from the late '60's to the early '70's. https://www.amazon.com/Howlin-Air-Wolfman-Jack/dp/B00000AFUJ if you want to buy it on Amazon.
