Friday Night Fights: It Don't Mean a Thing

All right, fellow hep cats and kittens, another set of seven brights has passed us by, which means it's time to beat it out and ante up my contribution to the killer-diller shindig that the ever-solid Bahlactus has got going on.

This time around we're turning the spotlight on a happening jack by the name of Swing Sisson, "the band leader who is hep to other things than jive and whose fist can do something besides hold his baton." Yowza!

Let's take a gander as he lays his percussive racket on some cut rate hood...

(from Feature Comics #109, April 1947)

Dig that sweet symphony of chin music! He's truly a cat who knows where it's at!

Louis Prima - Jump, Jive, an' Wail (from The Wildest! 1956) - And oft covered, but never duplicated swingin' masterpiece suitable for all your rug-cutting needs.
