Don't you just love Fats Waller? Especially when he's Havin' a Ball

"Are we all together? Yes, yes.
Do we mind the weather? No, no.
Get the chairs, tables, clear the hall
Cos we're havin' a ball"

Don't think I'd heard that one before!

Another Fats song I recently discovered is "You Meet The Nicest People In Your Dreams", available at jazz-on-line.com. You can listen to the whole song there. In addition to having fun lyrics, it really swings, kicking into gear at about 1:21 with sax and trumpet solos.
