[Dixielandjazz] Consensus on the Key of "Borneo"?

[Bruce Stangeland]

Steve,

I have found "Borneo" in four collections, 2 in G, one in F and one in C.

Cheers,

Hello all!
Was wondering, fellow musicians, if there is any "standard" key for the Bix
song - "Borneo"???  You know, "Way down south way down in Borneo..."
Last band I was with, the Mustache Band out of Denver, played it in the key
of B...
I want to introduce the song to the Jazz Knights, up here in Montreal and
want to put it in a good key...  or, hopefully, the "standard" key...
The bridge goes up an half step, so it's a little awkward any way you go...
Let me know what key YOU guys play it in and thanks, in advance, for the
help....
ALL the Very Best,
Steve "Stubby" Heist
