Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking of, anyway. I edited it so it's clearer.

"Shorty George." It's off a mix CD, so I have yet to figure out what version, but I think it's Basie's Complete Decca set. Was "Well, Git It!" for a long time after seeing the Mad Dog video, but it got overplayed here.

Well, yeah, but I can't make much out of dancing to the fast version.........yet.

You know I request it when you're around. I know you'll play the 285. :D
