Gentle Regals, we hipped Thee to Bill T. Jones' swingin' dance tribute to His Lordship in a previous communique (see Hip & Twist in the 2005 Riffs section.)

Now that the gig is in the history, we'd like to hipped Thee further with a taste of an interview Bill T. Jones did with Tom Crann on Minnesota Public Radio on June 3, 2005.

Thanks to Oliver Trager for directing the beam to the scene.
