      Started as a country tune 7 versions in Tony Russell's Country Music Records 1921-42. 2 of those are by cajun bands. The big national hit was lat 1940s as a polka by Frankie Yankovic. As you say, its stayed in lots of bands books.

    Just want to add my kudos to Albert and Jim Cox. I've listened to this piece literally hundreds of times over the years and I never get tired of it. One of the best piano solos of all time. Leaves me hungry to hear more. Albert Lee's best solo I've ever heard and it showcases Albert's wonderful voice, not what he's best known for, but a great voice even compared with many famous singers. But most of all, I see many comments in agreement with a friend of mine who took Albert's master class. My friend said, "He's like the coolest Grandpa a person could imagine." By many accounts, a genuine, lovable guy.

    Albert Lee is the finest guitarist in Nashville as far as I'm concerned. All these guys playing new country are fine players but every one of then is trying to be Albert Lee and there's only one of him. And what a wonderful tune. Someone commented that this sounded a little jazzy and on this version, it likely just the changes. I've seen Albert do this tune jazzy and it would have a lot of jazz players quaking in their boots. He can play anything and everything and play it well.
