Alvino Rey in a movie

Post by Burr Oxley »

I was watching TCM movie channel a few afternoons ago and saw a movie called "Sing Your Worries Away," which started off with Alvino Rey on a steel playing (I think) "Tiger Rag."

Pretty silly flick, but just seeing Rey play his steel right at the beginning was kind of neat.

Also, Walter Stettner's thread about the International Movie Database is an excellent one. The reference to "Sing Your Worries Away" can be found at this IMDB link:

Enjoy!

Alvino is also in a film called 'Syncopation' with Benny Goodman and Harry James - seems like Joe Venuti was in there, too.
