[Dixielandjazz] Looking for "Way Down Yonder...." patter recordings

[Charlie Hull]

Here's Al Jolson singing the verse, which might be construed as patter. 
I sampled most of the versions of the tune on YouTube, and the closest 
to real patter is the Bing Crosby-Louis Armstrong version, which made 
several departures from the way it's usually played.

I have a .pdf leadsheet with verse, chorus and lyrics, and will send 
off-list to whoever requests.
