Where's the tiger? There's the tiger!

I have a list of videos with video clips that I written about but that has since then disappeared from Youtube.

That list has become a little shorter when I yesterday refound the gem where Firehouse Five Plus Two plays Tiger Rag.

If you have some extra time, please help me hunt down the other missing video clips on my list.

I also want to remind you that if you are a Facebook user, you can become a fan of the Swing, Jazz & Blues blog.

Please comment.

Firehouse Five Plus Two plays Jingle Bells

Firehouse Five Plus Two plays a great dixieland jazz version of Jingle Bells in this video clip from the Disney tv show: One Hour in Wonderland from 1950.



"One Hour in Wonderland" is said to be the first tv program that the Disney studios produced.

The band Firehouse Five Plus Two consisted of animators from the studio: Danny Alguire, cornet, Harper Goff, banjo, Ward Kimball, trombone, Clarke Mallery, clarinet, Monte Mountjoy, drums, Ed Penner, tuba and Frank Thomas, piano.

(Yeah, I know, I broke an unwritten dj rule, that is, not to play the same song twice in a row, but sometimes you got to break the rules, especially when it's such a happy and joyful version.)

What do think of Firehouse Five Plus Two playing Jingle Bells? Tell me.

Firehouse Five Plus Two: Tiger Rag

Here is a video clip with the The Firehouse Five Plus Two playing Tiger Rag. Firehouse Five Plus Two was a Dixieland jazz band consisting of members of the Walt Disney Studios animation department [Wikipedia]. Dixieland jazz music always get me in a good mood and this is no exception.



I think this video clip might come from the film Grounds for Marriage from 1951 but I'm not sure. Tell me if you know something about the clip. BTW, I just love the woman's smile.
