We can all do w/o the jive, Gnome, for pity's sake.
Yur musical choice was excellent, however.

"Song first recorded and sung by Bo Diddley at the Universal Recording Studio in Chicago and released on the Chess Records subsidiary Checker Records in 1955.
"It became an immediate hit single that stayed on the R&B charts for a total of 18 weeks, 2 of those weeks at #1, and seven more weeks than its flipside (the B-side, "I'm a Man").
"It was the first recording to introduce African rhythms into rock and roll directly by using the patted juba beat.
"It was Bo Diddley's first recording and his first hit single."

Hambone knows:
Juba dance. The Juba dance or hambone, originally known as Pattin' Juba (Giouba, Haiti: Djouba), is an American style of dance that involves stomping as well as slapping and patting the arms, legs, chest, and cheeks. "Pattin' Juba" would be used to keep time for other dances during a walkaround.

Bo played the Merced Legion Hall once, way back in the olden days. The place wasn't even full. He played like it was though.

I'm still waiting for my geography lesson, Mr Mouse. I can't remember where that formation in the Valley is...Please don't make me meet the Misters, Mr Funk & Mr Wagnalls!

It's the much-denigrated Rhombus Wall above the Ahwhatsit Hotel.
Once had a reputation as chossy or as having no natural lines, BITD;
but this is undeserved upon seeing the devastation now visited upon the forlorn Waterfall Route,
aka Rockfall Route, on the Captain.
I spent much time perusing this face seeking to disprove the lack of aesthetics,
hoping to find a suitably easy line, but knew no one in my clique was up for such a route,
including Millis and Randy Hamm, the only others with experience to match my own.
There are likely a half-dozen routes up there now,
but that's something we'll have to find out from the guidebook mavens.

Yes, if you're wondering, folks, we actually accomplished some good climbs among us.
The sling on my left wrist is attached to my steel cleaning biner. I'm coming to a belay spot where Millis awaits.

Anyone reading Hawkings thesis?
Came out the same year Van & Jim played The Whiskey together.
It's free but don't rush over there- big line!
"Some implications and consequences of the expansion of the universe are examined. In Chapter 1 it is shown that this expansion creates grave difficulties for the Hoyle-Narlikar theory of gravitation. Chapter 2 deals with perturbations of an expanding homogeneous and isotropic universe. The conclusion is reached that galaxies cannot be formed as a result of the growth of perturbations that were initially small. The propagation and absorption of gravitational radiation is also investigated in this approximation. In Chapter 3 gravitational radiation in an expanding universe is examined by a method of asymptotic expansions. The 'peeling off' behaviour and the asymptotic group are derived. Chapter 4 deals with the occurrence of singularities in cosmological models. It is shown that a singularity is inevitable provided that certain very general conditions are satisfied."

No, never read Hawking's thesis.
But I've smoked some of Hocking's theses and burned a black hole in my sweater.First hit was free.

yes, doing 'slap time' too, to music is every dancers like!
this beat, that these folks had in the song, always reminded me of
some of the flamenco, but with a different 'emphasis beat' of course, however:
the same power release, as to using your body to 'drive' itself to be
PART of the music, and in a sense, an instrument, itself...
great share here from gnome ofthe dabase, as you said--
and from your 'shown video' here...
i liked seeing the history part, thank you ...
here is another 'slap' thing you might enjoy:
you can play spoons, to it, too... :)

and then, scott jophlin wrote some pieces with 'stomp' time...
this piece, it does not start, until about 0:52 seconds?

Pass The Piano, Pete
Good boogie woogie is hard to find
When you hear good boogie it will blow your mind
We heard some playing on The Captain one night
Some cats were wailing (but they were out of sight)
They were rockin' the Captain all night through
I couldn't stop tapping with my old tennis shoe
One big problem, though (and this wasn't all)
The boogie vibrations caused a giant rockfall!

And now folks, it's time for another not so exiting and always less than enticing episode of
Lower Your Expectations!!
Oop, Mott, and Mope
Oop was tall
And banged his head
Banged it so often
His face turned red
Mott was short
And drug his hands
Tied his shoes
With rubber bands
Mope was wide
Held up his pants
With flocks of birds
When he danced
Oop and Mott
Were Sagittarians
While Mope remained
Vegetarian
Oop and Mott
On November 23rd
Feasted on Mope
Like a little bird
Oop and Mott
Were taken to jail
And held for trial
Without any bail
Convicted of murder
They got the chair
But he ate Mott first
And no one cared
The priest asked Oop
Did he need to pray?
But Oop replied
Please go away
So Oop was fried
And went to hell
Where Satan cried
"Oop, what's that smell?"
Now the moral of
Oop, Mott, and Mope
For inquisitive minds
The answer is, "Nope!"

"The idea that the universe is expanding is of recent origin. All the early cosmologies were essentially stationary and even Einstein whose theory of relativity is the basis for almost all modern developments in cosmology, found it natural to suggest a static model of the universe.
"However there is a very grave difficulty associated with a static model such as Einstein's which is supposed to have existed for an infinite time. For, if the stars had been radiating energy at their present rates for an infinite time, they would have needed an infinite supply of energy. Further, the flux of radiation now would be infinite.
"Alternatively, if they had only a limited supply of energy, the whole universe would by now have reached thermal equilibrium which is certainly not the case. This difficulty was noticed by Olders who however was not able to suggest any solution.
"The discovery of the recession of the nebulae by Hubble led to the abandonment of static models in favour of ones which were expanding."
Well, I understood the last part when I heard about it in college in the 90s and the rest makes sense.
Gold star for Steve.
