Louis Prima: In Person! (2011, S'More Entertainment, unrated, $20)
by Amy Longsdorf
Bergen Record, May 20, 2011
Straight from PBS comes an hour-long DVD devoted to the New Orleans singer famous
for jumping, jiving and wailing. There are 20 shorts of Prima in action, stretching
from his big band days to his stints as a solo artist and duet partner for wives
Keely Smith and Gia Maione. Son Louis Jr. introduces the rare clips, many culled
from the "Ed Sullivan Show," and supplies a nifty tribute to his dad, who passed
away in 1978. Extras: additional 25 minutes of footage.

I hate all this terrorist business. 
I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself
"I'm going to take that."
