Hit Those Keys With Twelfth Street Rag
A processed version taken from a photograph of an Original Abstract Oil Painting in a Geometric Style on Canvas. Many many years ago I inherited an old wind up gramophone with a pile of outdated 78’s, Gracie Fields singing Isle of Capri and similar. At the time I had a mate whose elder brother also had a wind up gramophone except his pile of 78’s were old Trad Jazz Classics, and as well his brother had just bought the 78 of Pee Wee Hunt’s recording of Twelve Street Rag - which the two of us played many times. My birthday came around and my female cousin requested we shared a Birthday Party so that we could each invite our friends. I took along my wind up gramophone but not my 78’s and instead my mate’s brother had agreed to us borrowing the Jazz Classics and, of course Twelfth Street Rag. It all turned out a great evening, and although it was all so long ago my memory of the Party is fading everyone enjoyed the music. For me it began a lifetime enjoyment of Jazz both Trad and Modern Jazz, and I can still recall and sing On The Isle of Capri.
