Today’s holiday is Independence Day in Finland. This holiday is celebrated annually on December 6th and marks the Declaration of Independence from the Russian empire by the Finnish Parliament in 1917. Finland had been part of the Russian Empire since 1809. Following the Russian revolution and the defeats in the First World War, movements within Finland pushed for independence from Russia and on December 6th 1917, the parliament declared Finland as an independent state.
Anniversary!!

I ran across this great video of Cab Calloway, his Cotton Club Band and the Nicholas Brothers this morning. It reminded me what great performers they all were. Calloway grew up in Baltimore, briefly played professional basketball but was more interested in entertainment. He was a master of scat singing and one of the most popular band leaders of the 30s and 40s. His band at one time included Dizzy Gillespie and many other famous musicians of the time. He introduced Lena Horne to film and was the first African-American to have a single record with over a million sales. Anyway, just watch the video…amazing dance…
