Dear Bob,
Try this YouTube one (with BG hamming it up).

Then there is Peanuts Hucko at:

And a 1960 Chiaroscuro CR 167 LP version with Peanuts Hucko and Ralph Sutton.
But this may be hard to find. I never did.
There has to be others, but my up-coming busy day today prevents me from checking at the moment.
DJML lurker, clarinetist Jack Wiard, introduced it to our quartet a few years ago and it is always popular.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
