Thanks @mrpeebee, @U CAN CALL ME AL and @randulo. 3 different saxes, 3 different styles and 2 different time signatures. Nice to have a bit of variation.
For some reason my head didn't want to get on with any of the backings I could find, so here's a solo version (complete with random noodling):.
I'm sure it happens all the time, it was just an observationLots of songs have their roots in another time or culture. When the world was smaller few knew the source. Didn't many classical composers dip into folk songs? Didn't Paul Simon do it ? Didn't The Rolling Stones do it? Don't we all?
Thanks for that. Very interesting - I knew nothing about the chap. Here's your link.Really enjoyed that, and wonderful playing! I have really got in to this song and done a bit of research. For me your version is how I imagine eden ahbez intended it to be played. He is the strange enchanted boy, ahbez was part of a back to nature movement whose followers were known as the nature boys. " I look crazy but I'm not," he told life magazine in 1948. "and the funny thing is that other people don't look crazy but they are"
I could rattle on, but id better not.
There is some really interesting reading in an article in the Financial Times written by Mike Hobart August 21st 2015 ( I don't know how to do a link)

Ummm peebee you are always knocking the use of reverb and you post that example? I guess it's alright if the pros do it. (LOVE IT BTW)

A few missed notes, but mercifully short! Fun a few times, but I didn't want to play enough to get a less embarrasing take.
Here is my attempt. I transposed it into a more comfortable key for tenor.
