[Dixielandjazz] Happy Birthday - as a Jazz Medley

[Mike Durham]

Or "When You And I Were Young, Maggie", "When I Grow Too Old To Dream", 
"You've Been A Good Old Wagon" and "Old Man Mose", plus Mildred Bailey's 
"Old Pappy" - maybe for those senior moments, "Absent Minded Blues" or "You 
Forgot To Remember"?

Mike D.
