Thought this snatch was very "you" - being such a nifty dancer. 
My Gran was a huge fan of Jolson and B&W minstrels in general - was the music of her youth. I tried to find a decent rendition of "Mammy" which was her big favourite but could only see the one from the recent version of The Jazz Singer.
One thing -I never realised he was Lithuanian! You learn something new every day
