My grandfather got me into his music when I was about 6 years old. That's well over 20 years ago now. For my birthday, he found a guy who was the only one in the neighbourhood who had a cassette recorder and made me a mixtape of his songs. I'll never forget that gift, and I wish I appreciated it at the time as much as I do now.

My Grampa listened to this. HIS dad (having been born in 1895 and lived to be 106) disapproved, especially the bit where the tempo sped up. Anyways, Grampa has Alzheimer’s and even on bad days this tune still perks him up! Thanks Mr. Waller!

Thank you who ever up loaded this beautiful version, tears in my eyes, haven’t seen her again since 1975

this song was originally composed in 1929, and was written for the broadway musical revue “Hot chocolates” , and it is an absolute gem, one of my favorites from that time

Fats Waller was more than a supreme pianist, a very good singer - he was a showman whose constant expressions toward the audience was a pantomime exhibit, with frequent big eyes, wide smile & grimaces. He was one of those rare performers who had genuine stage presence & the charisma with the press to pull off sold-out performances in any house he played at. He liked his bourbon & women, he bawdy jokes, & a few bets on the side with a reliable booky for the latest ballgame. An optimist to the end, he was a big man living life big, a candle lit at both ends . . . leaving a legacy of his own special light to illuminate an era when music meant something to so many.

“Don’t care to go” is the published version I have. In this tradition, musicians often made up new words and phrases and even completely new verses, many of which were never written down. This was the case especially with the tongue-in-cheek songs like this one.

As a child, I pretended to be an elderly war veteran and explorer as a gag. I studied the history to be accurate with my comedy as possible. Showing others the music of "my" time as well. And in my captivation of times past, the joke became hilarilously similar to reality. As - at a certain point -I hardly knew of modern culture, and truly came to love swing and jazz orchestras.
