Let's take a trip in the WayBack Machine, Mr. Peabody

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!
