@TheReturnOfStephan1 It might've been Carmichael singing but I didn't recognise him - it sounded more like one of the Duke Ellington Orchestra singers

... Thanks a lot for lookin into it dude

When I was a kid I saw these two great musicians perform, and was about 15 feet from them as they did so. What an experience!

I went to a Dixieland festival in Friday Harbor when I was a kid with my Dad and he bought a tape of Dixieland Greats with this version of this song on it. Thank you seems not enoughtto show you how much I appreciate hearing this in this version again.
