    Yes. So glad you got to this one. We all knew you would love it when we requested it. You are so right. It moves and gets you moving from start to finish. I caught it over 50 years ago and hope they never find a cure. Great lyrics and singing, but the piano makes the song of course. Give Secret Agent Man a listen when you get back around to Johnny.

    LOL. I remember "shaking my tail feathers" to this one. I was 9 years old when this came out. And along these same lines you should check out Johnny Rivers - Sea Cruise (1973) - great piano and horns. There were many covers of this song but this is the one I remember most from around the same time as Rockin Pnuemonia & Boogie Woogie Flu.

    About 20 years ago, I saw Johnny Rivers at an outdoor show in Boston. It rained during the show driving many people away.
    I stayed and met Rivers after the show and told him that was quite a summer rain. He said, "Ha Ha!!!"

    More Johnny Rivers! His cover of “Sea Cruise” is fun! I’ve loved it ever since I was a little kid. There is a British piano teacher, Terry Miles, who posts videos on UA-cam of his search for pianos in pubs. With his style he often brings a smile to the faces of the bystanders. He must have caught the boogie woogie flu too.

    Johnny Rivers is an amazing talent with a bunch of songs under his belt. This song was played by the band at my wedding and it never gets old.

    Thanks for playing this! My dad’s favorite artist. I hadn’t heard Johnny Rivers in 30+ years. I’m going to play it for my 7 year old son.

    Give Johnnys tune Summer Rain a reaction next time you do him. It’s my personal favorite.
