My Dad was a great musician with his tenor sax, but what I loved most was hearing him whistle this tune in the early mornings. He always had a great tune in his head and would sing. I was a child and this is where I learned a love for great music. I was born in 1942. Missing my Dad.

What a wonderful tempo. Superb, just superb. Thank you.

Many thanks. A lovely old song, composed in 1916 by Clifford Grey (words) Nat D Ayer (music), here given a fine, gentle performance in the key of E flat. So relaxed that it's almost seven minutes before we have an ensemble chorus. Star players.

Marty Grosz, referring to the implications of the title, called this "the nightmare song."

What is this, the Benny Goodman era?

[@swingyoucats]

Do I detect a touch of derision in your characterization?
