Happened to reach into my CD storage and stumbled across a Bob Crosby version
of "Spain". Nice swingin' tune--very pleasant to my ears.
My dixieland fake book has it---composed by Isham Jones. A search on the
internet says it was briefly number one on the pop chart of 1924.
A search on youtube only came up with a more recent composition by that name
by Chick Corea.
Wondering why such a nice old tune isn't played much by OKOM bands?
