Abstract
essay .................... "When I Say Get It" by Burgin Mathews One night I was laying down. I heard mama and papa talking. I heard papa tell mama to let that boy boogie-woogie. 'Cause it's in him, and it's got to come out. --John Lee Hooker, "Boogie Chillen" We love to boogie on a Saturday night. --T. Rex, "I Love to Boogie" "I like to boogie-woogie," Madonna proclaimed in the title track of her 2000 release, Music: "it's like riding on the wind and it never goes away." The boogie-woogie--or just boogie for short-- born one hundred years before Madonna sang its praises, had survived into a new millennium and, as far at least as that pop songstress was concerned, would be around forever.
