Slim & Slam presents "Drinking Gin" featuring Joe Liggins, The Du Droppers & Amos Milburn.

Here's another of our medleys for your dancing pleasure, with yet more unrelated cartoon tomfoolery.

The last medley was about walking alone, and this one is about drinking gin, so there's a definite Covid19 theme going on - walking to the pub on July 4th perhaps?

I think we might have to play "Underneath The Arches" by The Andrew Sisters on Friday at Slim & Slam's Jukebox Jive on Friday 21st, as the Louis Marchesi have asked us to go down into the Crypt. It might get hot, so we'll bring some floor fans!

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Louis Marchesi on Friday - another excellent night. The temperature outside was cold, but it certainly wasn't on the dancefloor - it was steaming!

(I Don't Know) Why The Car Won't Go by Jesse Stone/Charlie Calhoun

My car's MOT is due shortly, and this song came into my head - can't think why! But, I'll play it on Friday at the Louis Marchesi during Slim & Slam's January Jukebox Jive
