TWO OF US SPENDING SOMEONE’S HARD-EARNED PAY, no. 6. Louis Prima/Keely Smith, The Hits of Louis & Keely. “I got it good and that ain’t bad,” Louis tucks in as an aside and gets a laugh from an audience as his wife tries to sing the song the right way on “I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good.” He’s almost got the Bob Wills thing where he’s so used to audiences eating up his live-show ad-libs that he commits them to recordings where they’re permanent, now, which is sometimes a little odd, but lovable. Actually I think that one was live—premeditated? Maybe, probably. This sounds so good! They’re just so entertaining, and Louis kind of won’t give up until you love him. And the band is killer, so tight. The almost digital precision of the pianoist’s right hand on “Just a Gigolo” which you can probably bring to your ear’s memory right now. I bet Louis didn’t like band guys who made mistakes. But it sure is fun. Have you seen “Big Night?” #louisprima #keelysmith #louisandkeely #justagigolo #iaintgotnobody #buonasera (at Noblesville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJYtkXrzB2/?igshid=1wc1w1ldc3pev

Up early, getting those #records together for #SnoBall! This year my Xmas present to myself is giving myself permission to sneak in some LP cuts that I love. So, this year I’m opting to play #KeelySmith’s version of “Peppermint Twist”. It’s a whole lotta KEELY and a whole lotta TWIST! see ya at the @spareroompdx on Saturday! #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcommunity #damitajo https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqu0uSvhrUC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iz537ih2uhxb
