To see, as well as hear what was going on in Harlem in 1929, see the below
site from the Savoy Ballroom with the house orchestra led by Chick Webb, and
a dance competition with Elmer Snowden (Alias Shorty Stump as the third
dancer). If this isn't the birth of the Lindy, I don't know what would be.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
