Yeah, Slim Gaylord on the soundies and Slim Gaylord right here.
Hello Slim, I see you've grown a beard in the 25 minutes since you made that [C] film.
Oh yeah, little time to grow [Eb] it after 25 years.
[G] _ _
Do [Gb] you remember the [Ab] soundies well?
[G] Yes, I made quite a few of them.
_ I [Abm] enjoyed making them [G] and I [Fm] enjoyed playing [E] them [D] walking down 7th [Cm] Avenue, _
Lennox Avenue, and I put _ [G] puns in each one of them.
But I wanted to be sure my soundies were watched. _ _
So everybody _ _ _ passing, they had to see me.
They saw you.
And I enjoyed it very much.
Like I said, that's me over there, look.
_ _ That really is him.
[E] _ _ We're going to watch a soundie now [F] made by Fats Waller
who was also called Harlem's Humple and Allowable.
You worked with Fats, [C] Fats?
Yeah, we worked on 52nd [Dm] Street.
_ _ And we [Em] worked on 53rd Street, Kelly's [D] Stable.
[Dm] But Fats and [C] I, we had some good fun over there.
I enjoyed working [Ab] with him.
_ [E] He was a [A] drip.
_ Was he as [Dm] much fun all the time as you feel?
Oh, he was [Cm] 24 hours a day.
When you come on the job, he was laughing and having fun.
We just enjoyed [C] ourselves because he was really [Db]
a [Gb] good friend to [G] work with.
This [E] particular song by Fats is all about [D] a _
[C] rent party.
[A] There [Em] may be a few [F] people out there who don't [Dm] remember [F] exactly what a rent [E] party was.
But would you [C] like to explain that?
The [F] _
rent [Dbm] party was, they have [G] parties _
_ [Gb] _ [F] every week, [Eb] every month.
Somebody's having a [Db] party to raise rent.
[C] _
And they pay X [F] amount to come in.
[Gb] They serve [G] potato salad [Abm] and barbecue.
[A] _ But they [C] didn't have [B] vegetarian too [C] much.
But they had good fun.
And the phone rang and they [B] called up to make a [Ab] reservation to come to [G] the rent parties.
_ [Gb] Those parties [F] were something.
_ [Dm] _ How did they [Eb] raise the rent?
[D] Oh, they [Db] raised the rent [G] every time [Bb] they have a party [B] because then it was all paid.
Now next week, they're going [G] to somebody else's house.
And they get the rent together, it was fine.
Was there any property left over [Eb] to pay the [Em] rent?
Yeah, there was [Db] some funds left.
We had lots of bail [Gb] to pay because the [G] police used to come in.
But it was all right.
Oh, good.
I hear Fats singing about one song called The Joint is Jumping.
I love it. _ _
