Distant ships sailing into the mist (Bob Dylan)

Jumpin' At The Woodside was a hit for Count Basie and his orchestra in 1938. It must be part of my DNA.

By the time I was a teenager in 1970 I had heard this (and many other Swing toons) many many times for a decade - bound to seep into the pores.

It popped up on the shuffle t'other day and I couldn't help but grin and think of my folks - the Swing fans.
