Hucklebuck of 1949 & Sinatra

The Hucklebuck sung by Frank Sinatra (1949) -- The Hucklebuck (aka Huckle-Buck & Huckle Buck) dance is considered a Risque, sexual type of dance which had its hey-day during the late 1940s early 1950s but goes back to the early 1900's. I haven't seen anything about it during the 1920s, though. Only that it might have originate at Savoy Records in NYC.

Them Louthans

Al writes, "Dear Duchess: I'm up here at our house in Rutherford County, NC, relaxing for a week. I was out in my shop and found a box of photographs of my mother's family. She and dad adopted me as a infant, and I absorbed some of the family history and folklore.

Mom's maiden name was Louthan. She grew up in the Short Springs community between Ashley and Ingersol, or north of Ingersol on the highway to Alva. The school house and cemetary were still there, the last time I was through there.
