This afternoon, I figured out an arrangement of Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore". I got it more or less under my fingers and decided to record it, using my Style 2 Martin. It's short, but I would have just been repeating myself!

Let me know what you think.

Well Stan, actually it was just the uke I happened to be playing that day, lol. Although I must say, it's really well-suited to this tune!

Nicely played, I think repeating yourself is required. I'll just have to replay a few times to get my fill

Nice Chris !
I messed with that tune about six months ago, and forgot about it.
I'll have to re-visit it.
