I remember Jim Boots playing his mouth organ and the Boots family could really dance. They danced the whole night and so they introduced jitterbugging, though I never had the courage... Jim played the mouth organ. He could really make it talk. His mother used to come to all the dances. She was a real good sport and she loved dancing.
