*I'll give long odds that you've never even heard OF this one -- much less, actually HEARD it. But you might well find it worth seeking out, because it can be a lot of fun to jam with, sort of semi-dixieland style, as I discovered when I listened to an alternate recorded version by a group called The Bearcats Jazz Band (to which this arrangement owes a considerable debt.) It's loads more fun to play along with then the highly successful Morgan version which was so popular in its time, but which now sounds bland in comparison.
