I've been asked to pick a song for this month. After much deliberation I've decided to go with a song from 1930.
Walkin' my Baby back home.
I'm familiar with Nat king Cole's version
https://youtu.be/FUlKtLG7rGY
and have been advised that Johnny Ray had a big hit with it. I'm not keen.
Tempo and timing are surprisingly important to make it walk/swing.
An early version from a band leader I've only recently discovered. Ted Weems1930

I've got a backing track for you in Eb but no dots. @Chris Help

The chord sheet is in the real book

Have fun
Edit. Thanks @Chris
