[Dixielandjazz] Jonathan Russell & Tom Rigney

Oh! That Nature Boy.

Recorded originally I think by Nat King Cole in 1948. I happen to remember 
the date because I was in the army at a particularly rotten posting, 
freezing weather, snow, no running water in the camp and I had just put my 
first Tape up.Promoted to the dizzy heights of Lance Bombardier.
Cole`s record was No 1 in the charts for weeks which particularly annoyed me 
as I always argued that the guy who persuaded Cole to sing instead of play 
piano robbed us of a great piano player.  Then the tune which I didn`t think 
much of anyway, was completely wrecked by some weird mob who released a 
record called Serutan Yob. Now I can never think of Nature Boy without 
Serutan Yob taking over in my mind. Now, what was that band called?????

Cheers
