For those who looked at/heard the Dorsey clip wasn't it interesting how well
Micket Rooney faked playing the piano? (Remember the thread about actors
faking being jazz musicians?)

I just saw another Rooney film on TV the other day about "OKOM". Can't think
of the name right now, ("Speakeasy?) but Louis Armstrong, Barney Bigard and
Jack Teagarden were also in it. This time Rooney played a drummer.

He faked playing drums pretty well also.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
