Soundie – Reg Kehoe and his Marimba Queens (ca. early 1940s)

I just had to share this with everyone; it’s just great on so many levels. This is the original video that Bill Streeter found on the Internet Archive that he used for a little promo on his two Davila 666 videos over on Lo-Fi Saint Louis recently, but this is the entire thing. The reason I wanted to share it with all two or three of you that follow this blog is because of the hilariously enthusiastic bass player that comes up front for a solo midway through this tune… you can tell by his pre-solo antics that it’s going to be good. Enjoy!
