At least once or twice or thrice or four times a week? When I uploaded this one How High the Moon was the only other one in the library and in a little over a year there were six total and all of them were being played. I agree with you that we could always hear more Duke but he is making a good deal of progress. You could help him out and upload some too you know. | |||||

| Johnny-smooth (On my bicycle) | Posted: Jan 16, 2012 - 15:13 Where's the 12? Off the charts. Yet again another reason why I listen to RP. Rolling Stones and Duke Ellington in the same set - it would be hard to find that mix even on college radio and definitely not on any of the commercial crap we're served here in the Boston area. Is it any wonder that commercial radio stations are sucking air? | |||||

| yofitofu (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Apr 07, 2011 - 12:37 Oh so classy. What I love about RP is that it could play this, The String Cheese Incident, Led Zeppelin and The Real Tuesday Weld all at any given time. Possibly even consecutively! So lovely. | |||||

Actually the proper term was always stoney but the movie wanted to use something without the drug overtones. Kind of a Disney version of the town. The swimmin' hole was authentic though. | |||||

Dad once played clarinet in a swing-band, about the time Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller were hitting their stride, and his musical influences rubbed off on me. Mom always like piano and beautiful harmony vocals (ABBA was her favorite.) They both agreed on Duke Ellington, though... Thanks, Bill - good memories here. | |||||

I used to play this song in a gin joint, piano man style, and at first tried to convert the gender of the lyrics. Damned syllables — what do you do instead of "since my man and me ain't together"? This was the power of the word 'gal': it was the only one-syllable word you could generally substitute for 'man' in a gender conversion. Phinally I said "phuk it" and did it true to the original, which went over just fine, and reminded me that it was my latent homophobia (for I have no patent homophobia) that impelled me to search for a hetero compromise in the lyrics. I no longer convert for any song (not even "Girls just wanna have fun"). Seems better this way. Oddly enough Arlen originally wrote the song for Cab Calloway (who also uses gal when he does it).
