Larry & Listmates:

Here are tunes I can think of that use the 32 bar Bill Bailey chords, or
almost all of them in the same sequence. Some are Pop, Country & Western
etc. Can you add more? There must be more. Chose you own keys. ;-) VBG

If you can play these plus "Lush Life" you've got a full book. ;-) VBG
