One of my fakebooks of  --"Dixieland tunes"----also includes
"Melody in F".  Rather unusual title amidst the mixture of 20s jazz
and 30s swing tunes.  Composed by Anton Rubenstein---world
famous pianist/composer during the 19th century.  Wondering
how it got in there, I did find  jazz versions by Art Tatum and
Teddy Wilson, but there must be jazz/swing band recordings
out there also.

I played around with the notes a bit---does seem to be a fun
tune to play with.  Is that in the song list of any band members
on DJML?
