    Louie Jordan used this tune,too, #Stuff Smith is a jazz fiddle legend.
    Heard, again ,This song, on 'prarie home companion'.
    [produced for internet via BBC.co.uk radio7 listen again , sunday., archived shows available 6 days after webcast.]
    I think the piece as played is in F but the breaks #swing so hard , I cant get my ear to figure out the changes.
    I know its got (a lot)more going on than I,IV,V.
    so ill seek wisdom of some of the musicschooled folks in this forum.

    I have a lovely (and cheap) 2 cd stuff smith set from Proper records, which I recommend heartily. K-nock k-nock is on there. There's some fine fiddling on that record; no one swung harder than he.

    I'm no good to you on the changes, however.
    And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

    Andy Stein has a go at the piece on the show and sounds as though he was up to the chore.

    ..... Stopwatch, --- Stop what chur doin' and let me in.

    inspired, no doubt by prohibition era speakeasy entry inquiry dialogs ...
