Drummer Clifford “Boots” Douglas led his 12-piece big band Boots & His Buddies during the 30s in the area of San Antonio, Texas, playing for dancers.
Although it was a “territory” band (only performing locally), they recorded 42 songs for the Bluebird label.
The Raggle Taggle is a hard swinging tune in a minor key, perfect for Balboa dancing. If you don't own this song, buy it immediately, it's a gem!
