Bob Ringwald replies:

There have been some 9 or 10 recordings done of the tune.  I recorded it
with the Fulton Street Jazz Band on our album, "Tippin' In."

I am soon going to record it again, an add it to, when I re-issue my
"Ringwald Rated R" recording on CD.  It is also one of my favorite tunes.

Dave Littlefield, if you want to use it, contact KO Eckland to get the
original sheet music.  I'll send you his e-mail address off-list.
