Dear Bill & Robert:

Wonderful version Robert, and Hucko's version is wonderful Bill.

The original by Irving Fazola is also worth a listen:

Kenny Davern put out a beautiful homage to Faz's version on his album "My Inspiration" with an orchestra led by the composer Bob Haggart. I don't think it is on you tube, but if you get a chance to buy the CD (Amazon and CD Universe have it) do not hesitate. The fidelity is excellent and Davern is superb.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
