now here's a conundrum:
Is it accurate?
I first saw a Buck and Wing on archive footage taken by Thomas Alvar Edison. It was referred to as a "Buck & Wing" and the erudite commentator remarked that the Buck was the dancing but the Wing was a reference to the arms and legs as they rocked back and forth (elbow crooked) in a semi-crouching stance that was representing a turkey wing. I may have made the connection myself about the tune "Turkey in the Straw" but it always sticks in my mind. The clip would not have had audio but the documentary might have added some music for atmosphere.
The 20 second (ish) film clip is famous and it looks like a turkey wing is being represented. The dance is done by a young African-American.
