Ivylander recently posted about a gift he bought for his wife this christmas, a Cab Calloway cd from the 1940's. Of course to most of us reading this I would bet that if you hear the name and don't know who it is you can be told that he was the guy who sang Minnie The Moocher in The Blues Brothers and you will know immediately. I have Cab Calloway's Kicking the Gong Around--it has already been mentioned that Calloway was a fan of the funky weed and sang a song or two devoted to the subject. It has also already been pointed out that Calloway sang fun songs--not fun novelty like songs but songs that are a hoot to listen to. I have attached one here and I bet it gets stuck in your head for the rest of the day and maybe you will find the need to go out and get yourself some Calloway and that isn't a bad thing.
