Darktown Strutters' Ball

This is an improvised piano rendition of a popular song from the 20th century, originally penned by Shelton Brooks in 1917. If you're inclined to sing along, the lyrics speak of arranging a taxi ride for a special someone around 8:30, with a gentle reminder not to be late. The song further expresses the excitement of being present when the band begins performing, and a playful warning to the partner about owning the dance floor with two-step dance moves. The ultimate climax of the evening is envisioned as dancing to the point of wearing out their shoes when the band plays the 'Jelly Roll'.
