Count Screwloose - Wanted: No Master

One of the great newspaper cartoonist Milt Gross's few forays into animated cartoons, Wanted: No Master, from MGM, 1939.

Fresh Lobster

This weird animated film, starring Billy Bletcher, has been listed in various resources as having a date of 1928, 1934, and 1948. I have no idea which is right, but it is so weird it is timeless! I got this link from the Liketelevision website. The player is a little wacky.

Boogie Woogie Dream

I am in a boogie woogie mood, as I have been listening to my Pandora Boogie Woogie Station all morning. So I did a quick look at Utube for some nice boogie woogie footage, and found this great bit by Pete Johnson and Albert Ammons, Boogie Woogie Dream. And also figured out how to post a youtube clip directly to my blog while I was at it!

Really the Country Blues

A session from the 1960's blues rediscovery period that I stumbled onto on YouTube.
