A big, fat 'Thank You' is winging its way across the Atlantic to my old e-pal, Malcolm Pollack, for providing a link to a super film clip featuring the great Eleanear Powell and Buddy Rich in a sequence together. To 'add lustre to this cluster' it also features Bert Lahr, the Cowardly Lion from you know what! This really cheered me up on a cold, damp afternoon - I hope it does the same for you:

Good stuff, DM, and how strange the xylophone sounds compared to the vibraphone.

Did you notice Red Skelton in the clip?

DM's clip reminds me that the last of the Andrew Sisters passed away recently.
