At our last gig at a local restaurant, we had a whole table of older ladies  
wearing red hats.  They were members of the Red Hat Society.  I asked  them if 
there was any song that would appeal to them.  Later we played "I'm  Stepping 
Out With A Memory, Tonight" but announced it as "I'm Stepping Out  in My Red 
Hat, Tonight".  That went over well, but as we were picking up at  the end of 
the gig, one lady came up and said, "How about 'The Lady In  Red'?"  So far I 
found out that it was a Xavier Cugat number in the late  1930's.  How ever as 
I tinkle it in my mind, it seems that a trad jazz  version of this would work 
really well.  They're planning to come back  in March at our montly gig here I 
would like to work it out with the  band. 
 
Does anyone have the lead sheet, or sheet music that I could a copy  of?
