Does anybody know where I can get a copy of song featuring Frankie manning giving out instructions for the shim sham? It ends with him shouting out freeze and dance several times??
Thank you

You're welcome! I have that CD signed with a personal dedication by Frankie. Should get one by George as well, his band was one of the first I ever saw play for lindy hoppers, back in '99 - just a week after they did the Frankie 85 birthday gig recorded for the CD, in fact. Not that I knew that back then.

My left leg and shoe are in one of the picture on the inner liner notes. Ah, the joy of rolling eyes when you point and say "that's my foot!"
