IMPROVISATION - "FRERE JACQUES"

I did one helluva improvisation (dare I say so myself) on this tune some years ago here in Orlando based on an improvisation that I heard Pierre Cochereau perform on the same tune at Avery Fisher Hall (Lincoln Center NYC) on the Aeolian-Skinner that was in that hall that later became part of the Crystal Cathedral Organ. Cochereau's performance was stunning of course and it left quite the impression on me for 30 years. Here I tried to duplicate what I had done already some years ago. It's on cassette, so if I'm ever able to transfer it to CD, I'll upload it.

Thank you, you just saved me a massive headache. Earlier, I was looking for that cassette with the title of this tune on it and couldn't find it. I kinda knew the name, but I didn't have the correct spelling although I did a search with this exact spelling last night on youtube but I still wasn't sure that I had it right. Thanks so much!

The theme is "Frère Jacques" I believe? French traditional song.
