Fat Girl

This one is from my House Advantage (Fake) Book.

I probably got the 78 of Fats Navarro's "Fat Girl" at an Oregon City record show, back in the 80's. It's hard to be sure, but I got a lot of great 78's there and I think this was one of them. I have it now on LP and cd, of course, but this was the first time I had heard the song. Naturally I'm going to love anything by Fats and Leo Parker. The flip side, by the way, is Serge Chaloff's "A Bar a Second".

We played "Fat Girl" in a combo at North Seattle Community College with Fred Radke. It was a big hit with the band. Nick Davis was playing bass and he was the one who got to yell, "Fat Girl! Fat Girl!".
