Hey friend! @agmoore Wow, your write-up about "Sing, Sing, Sing" was super cool! I didn’t know Louis Prima wrote it first. The story about Gene Krupa not stopping drumming and everyone just going with it is awesome. I really liked learning about how different Prima’s and Goodman’s versions are. Thanks for sharing all these interesting facts!

Hello, friend! Thank you. I really enjoyed reading your comment, @magicfingerz. My husband said that years ago (1969) he met a friend at the Metropole Cafe in Manhattan (NY) and Krupa was performing there. The Cafe, which used to be a venue for jazz bands, had fallen on hard times, and it seemed Krupa had also. I think perhaps he was one of those brilliant people whose light burned a little too brightly in their lives. You could certainly see that passion in his music.
It was fun writing this blog. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. Have a great week ahead.
