My dad ran an enlisted man's club in Germany right after WWII, in 1946. Part of his job was getting 45s for the jukebox. Always wondered what he put on that jukebox. I know he dug Cab Calloway and Louis Jordan.

Harry's voice reminds me of Fats Waller
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:55pm

(in fact i'll guess Harry'd studied Fats pretty thoroughly)

Harry was a crazy white cat with a big mop of blonde hair and a real benzedrine vibe
