Speaking of "That doo doo stain", when I was looking for an "authoritative"
version for my DixFkBk (ultimately I was given a copy of the sheet music,
and heard the Ethel Waters version), most of the jazz records I heard
played the verse pretty much as written, but there seemed to be no even
reasonably common version of the *chorus*. I felt I might as well have
provided the verse, and chorus chords with a note "Do what you please,
everybody else did." I provided the sheet music chorus instead. Anyone got
an opinion on a record that might be considered the "standard" version?
