Let's go old school to kick off the weekend, shall we?

Here's the Preservation Hall Jazz Band from back in 1971, playing with Duke Ellington and his band. The song is "Darktown Strutters Ball," a Dixieland classic dating back to the World War One era. It has a special place for me as a tune that my father would often sing and play for the family on his trusty little ukulele.

Enjoy!
