Fats Waller

I heard some Fats Waller music on Pandora the other day, so I bought the Handlful of Keys boxed set. Well, it's a lot of fun. Fats' favorite word seems to be an enthusiastic "YEAH!", although it sounds a bit more like "EAH!"

Top songs so far are "My good friend the milkman says" and "The curse of an aching heart." Tracks where Fats talks are most amusing. "Let me tell you something woman, you made a big fat greasy bum outta me, and I ain't gonna stand for it." fun stuff.
