Nice one Jimmy 🙂.

I also did a take of this song and posted it on SOTW. Might as well share it here!

I did a version in D for tenor, which runs a bit high, but Ben Webster did play it in the same key in his very well known and fantastic emotional version of this song with Teddy Wilson on piano, recorded in Denmark.

Here is my quick and dirty take:

- 'Old Folks' (Florida no USA 10* - Plasticover 2):

And here (for those who never saw it!) the Ben Webster / Teddy Wilson version:

I never get tired of that video. I could watch it a hundred times. I also love Teddy's playing of this.
