This is the best version of this song on You Tube. Such a song needs to be handled with great delicacy and feeling. All the other versions are far too harsh and unromantic.

Well, folks . . . listen to "Sweets" Edison tickle that muted trumpet in the background.
I shook hands with him one night at Donte's in N. Hollywood.
When I think of the players I heard there . . . a golden time that will not pass my way
again . . .
