Thanks again for some great video. It is Walter Page and Jo Jones still there on Bass and drums..Yes that is when dancing meant something.Folks can see the similarity with the Nicholas Bros.. sort of a lift if you look at their material. The # they did with Cab and the steps It's all great!Even a novelty # like this has so much life from these wonderful exciting dancers of their day. Maybe people now can see where a lot of the break dancing and Even M.Jackson got some of their "riffs".
