There are so many versions of this on YouTube and they all seem to work for me - vocal; instrumental; fast; slow - I'm not keeping a league table but I'm sure this would be near the top if I did. Thanks for the pleasure.

I've already decided - this is what I want playing at my own funeral and just in case I'm not there, I can listen to it as much as I want now. reminds me of the villages in fl - a wonderful memory

Hello - Nice to receive a comment from fellow jazz enthusiast from France. I visited New Orleans several times in the 1960s and 70s to hear George Lewis, Jim Robinson, Kid Thomas, Cie Frazier and many more at Preservation Hall. Ailene Cusack

I was getting ready to criticise this version as too fast but I changed my mind. I've played it many times including at funerals a nd really it works at many levels I suppose my preference has always been coloured by the parade I played with the Young Tuxedo in New Orleans way back in 1978.; but I enjoyed this version, especially as it was dedicated to a past member of the great world wide musical fraternity

Thanks for your comment. Yes, the Chicago Salty Dogs are based in the Chicago area but, unfortunately, they have no regularly scheduled venue. You might want to check out Kim Cusack's website where you will find a schedule of events.
