It Don't Mean A Thing

Irving Mills and The Duke (Ellington) got it right in 1934 when they wrote that. It really doesn't. Swing is really what it's all about. Not the Hokey Pokey. Unless done in swing. I didn't know what to name this blog, so I decided it would be the first thing that came into mind. Which was, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing. Nothing against rock, hip hop, mozambique, waltz, folk, bossa nova, or new age. Well ok, I do have something against new age. But swing. That really is the meaning of life.
