May 21st, not a holiday, but some time off for misbehavin’

NewMexiKen checked and I’ve never posted the birthdays for May 21st. Here’s why:

Al Franken is 57. Mr. T is 56. Judge Reinhold is 51.

TV actress Lisa Edelstein is 40. I didn’t even know what show she’s in.

However, Thomas “Fats” Waller was born on this date in 1904.

Here he is in the 1943, shortly before he died at age 39, singing his most famous composition, “Ain’t Misbehavin'”

And here’s a great version of the same tune with Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli (no video, just the music).

And the Muppets have a nice cover, too.

How about some guitar misbehavin’?
