I, too, was blown away with the Bob Crosby arrangement of Spain, one  
of their best. I presume the opening clarinet work is Irving Fazola,  
perhaps someone can confirm that.
It's a pleasant melody, with nice changes, and perhaps the simplest  
bridge of all popular music.
Ideal where dancers dominate the crowd.
We play it now and then just to keep it alive.
