http://www.blindboone.missouri.org ********* "Oh, By Jingo" This was a blast! A tune from the Past! Bob Ault pulls this one out of his extensive mental memory bank after not having sung it for at least 20 years, and Terry Waldo works the ivories with some additional help from Craig Ventresco on guitar. The fellas really lit up the party with this number. Did we have fun or what? YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE! Where, you ask? It all happened in Columbia, Missouri in early June, 2007 at the BLIND BOONE RAGTIME & EARLY JAZZ FESTIVAL. Check their website above for info. I can hardly wait till next year!

At least, that's the way it's printed on the sheet music cover. It was composed by Thomas S. Allen in 1909. This all took place at a concert in Columbia, Missouri. The concerts were hosted by the BLIND BOONE RAGTIME & EARLY JAZZ FESTIVAL, and this was just one of many events during the three day festival. It was great!

http://www.blindboone.missouri.org Meredith Axelrod WOWs'em with this darling vocal of an old Ragtime era tune entitled, "GRIZZLY BEAR" at an afternoon concert in Columbia, Missouri. SOME OF THE LYRICS: Out in San Francisco where the weather's fair, They have a dance out there, they call the Grizzly Bear; All your other lovin' dances don't compare. Not so coony [or moony], but a little more than spoony. Talk about yo' bears that Teddy Roosevelt shot, They couldn't class with what old San Francisco's got; Listen my honey, do, and I will show to you The dance of the Grizzly Bear. The concert was hosted by the BLIND BOONE RAGTIME & EARLY JAZZ FESTIVAL, and was one of many events during the three day festival. It was great! I WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THERE! _2007
