*One cool thing about these old Duke Ellington numbers was the way that they played up their black origins, when some of the folks on the dancefloor may have wanted to forget that. The title of this song is one hint, as is the mention of African sun.

It's always an exciting time wondering who the next neighbors will be.. and whether you'll be getting regular sleep during the following year.
Ahh, Duke. I love all of his music but one of my favorites from the early days was 'What Did I Do To Be So Black and Blue?
Good choice. Satchmo put his mark on that song as well.
BTW, what kind of neighbors do you have these days?
Happily, mostly quiet hardworking ones. I think either the guy downstairs x-box broke or he moved.
