A very well-behaved interpretation of this splendid Fats Waller classic, that should be rededicated to the millions of Japanese salarymen living apart from their wives and families due to forced relocation oredered by the company... wonder how those guys are behavin'... Funny, though, how this song combines a lonely, wistful theme ("happy inside my cage" etc) with a swinging, jaunty melody. Truly, Mister Gill has pulled out a plum from the great days of jazz here. Well played sir!
Like that swing-out sheet music holder. My piano has one too. Very handy.
