VERY fun cover and nice upbeat piano! GREAT!
ReplyDeleteFrank Froeba (which I've heard pronounced by some as FREE-ba, although I'm not sure this is correct) was a well-known jazz, ragtime, and pop pianist who recorded in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, and perhaps earlier and later, too.
ReplyDeleteHe was really great and one of my favorites.
Check out his Wikipedia entry sometime.
One of my favorite albums of his is called "Back Room Piano" but is really hot and tasty playing, unlike far too many so-called "honky-tonk piano" albums of those days.
PLEASE change the spelling of his last name in your article, since you have consistently mis-spelled it "Froebra" on your article here. This makes it very hard to find your nice post of this record via Google, and had I been looking for it, I wouldn't have found it.
As it is, I was fortunate to stumble upon this by accident while browsing thru your pipe organ records.
Thanks!
Thanks again Andrew!
