Having resolved to undertake boogey-ing, is woogey-ing just a natural extension upon nearing the completion of the boogey? Or are there other factors to take into consideration?
I must admit I’ve never really properly boogey-ed before, although I’ve sensed, on at least one occasion, a bit of pre-woogey. Is that normal?
Boogie is a verb, boogie-woogie is a type of music. If you dance to house music are you ‘housing’? If you dance to drum ‘n’ bass are you “drum ‘n’ bassing”?
I have been known to say those very things…as well as “heavy metaling”, “Industrialing”, and “Mozarting”, among otherings. Granted, I’ve never heard anyone else use such terms.
There was a book called “They Have a Word For It” which claimed boogie woogie came from an African phrase “mbuki mvuki” meaning “get naked to prepare for serious partying.”
Wonderful link! Dr. John and Jools Holland doing a four-hand boogie. Jools is great with his high right-hand stuff. I linked to Pete Johnson, one of my first generation favorites.
