Bix Beiderbecke recorded this song with his first band, The Wolverines in 1924. I transposed it to the key of C to best play it on the guitar. I stuck to the chord progression and melody carefully, but took many liberties with the arrangement, the better to get the song's deep idea across. This is one of my very favorite arrangements. It's important to note here that the style that Rev Gary Davis taught us all made this kind of arrangement possible.
