Tune-ful Tuesday: Johnny Otis!

Here is a good video clip for my dad, who has told me several times over the years how he enjoyed the Johnny Otis Television Show on Los Angeles when he was a rocking lad.
As for me, when I was a young man driving my Honda around, delivering pizza's to the hungry people of Brea, CA, I listened to the Johnny Otis Radio Show on the LA Pacifica radio station. Johnny broadcast his show from the Powerhouse Brewery in Sebastopol, CA and played all kinds of great rhythm and blues music.

Here you go Dad:
The Johnny Otis Band featuring Marie Adams & The Three Tons of Joy (with a brief appearance by Lionel Hampton) performing, Willie and the Hand Jive!

Start doing that crazy hand jive.
