(upbeat music) Hello and welcome to On This Day in Blues History for December 31st. I am your host, PW Fenton. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) Some people call this night New Year's Eve, but I like to call it amateur night. It's the night when non-drinkers all over the world decide to throw caution to the wind and get lousy drunk. Perhaps not unrelated, it is also the night that working musicians get their highest paying gigs of the year, probably because of what they'll face driving home when the bars close for the night. On This Day in 1929, Clara Smith recorded Let's Get Loose, the song that we're listening to right now and you can't stay here no more in New York City for Columbia Records. I hope she was able to record it during the day and had a good New Year's Eve gig booked for that night. ♪ Nobody all let's get loose ♪ ♪ Honey let's get a loose ♪ ♪ Come along with me ♪ ♪ We will make poopy ♪ ♪ Honey let's get a loose ♪ ♪ Never walk without my walking cane ♪ Hey, don't forget to stop by at bluesland.net where I have links to all the music you hear on this show.
