And whether or not you've seen that video (I've resisted ever seeing it),
"Reelin' and Rockin'" is still a ripoff of Wynonie Harris' "Around the Clock
Blues."

Dominic...the 96-year-old uke/guitar man Bill Tapia played with Lani
McIntyre...do you know if he played with him  on the sessions where they
backed Bing? (So cool that he did a gig with John Philip Sousa's band in
1918 when he was 10 year old. Safe to say he's got to be the only person
still alive who's played a bill with Sousa.)
