Lullaby Of Birdland

A lovely old tune from 1952 by George Shearing. I first heard this as a fingerstyle guitar piece when it was played by Al Stewart at the old Free Trades Hall in Manchester in (I think) 1967 or 1968. He was the opening support act for the Incredible String Band. I've been meaning to play it for over 40 years and only got round to it recently!
