The song for Charleston Revue: 12th Street Rag by Fats Waller

alainwong — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 17:38:48 +0000

The song we are using is called “12th Street Rag” by Fats Waller. Here’s what I found on Wikipedia.

Fats Waller (born Thomas Wright Waller on May 21, 1904, died December 15, 1943) was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer and comedic entertainer.

A skilled pianist — widely recognized as a master of stride piano — Waller was one of the most popular performers of his era, finding critical and commercial success in his homeland and in Europe. Waller was also a prolific songwriter, with many songs he wrote or co-wrote still known to modern audiences, such as “Honeysuckle Rose”, “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Squeeze Me”.

You can find the song on the album Handful of Keys on Amazon.ca

Salut à tous!

Un petit rappel que Lindy Revue est d’abord et avant tout un cours, donc j’espère voir tout le monde jeudi prochain, même s’il y en a qui ne pourront pas participer au spectacle le lendemain. Ne manquez pas le cours le plus électrique de la session!

Ceci étant dit, je serai à la pratique dimanche, et Alain vous a envoyé un petit courriel avec le dernier vidéo et des notes sur quoi apporter au cours.

À très bientôt!

That being said, I will be there a the Sunday pratice, and Alain has sent you an email with the latest video and notes on what to bring to the last class.

Return from ULHS

Bonjour à tous! Returning from ULHS is no easy feat, so Alain and I might not be able to post the review from last week before our class on Thursday.

Meanwhile you can console yourselves by watching the Showdown clips on YouTube!

A big thanks to Angga for helping me teach the class last week!

À jeudi,

~ Ann
