[Dixielandjazz] Wanted Lead and Chords- The Lady in Red

[BudTuba at aol.com]

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.  There was no  immediate 
response.  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.  However as  I review that melody 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, so I would like to work it out with 
the  band. 
 
Does anyone have the lead sheet, or sheet music that I could get a copy of?
