Ken,

Not rap. I now realize that some of the youngsters on the board may not know that Ballin' The Jack was a dance tune introduced in 1913 (prewar indeed). For those of you that would like to sing along with Soakin' Da Card the following should help you with the instrumental accompaniment.

When you play the video and sing along, you will better appreciate my iambic pentameter.

Back in my big band days, my sax solo accompanied the dancers, as seen in the second video. Brenda Lee, what a treat to work with.

I'll just bet there were not many prewar players who were not familiar with Ballin' The Jack. I hear it was one of Babe's favorites.
