Django recorded several versions of this piece, all wonderful. This arrangement is probably closest to this, the earliest recording:

 
Excellent work! Love the rhythm and syncopation.
 
Introducing UU's own "sugarinthegourd"!!! This is really awesome stuff and he is a great musician. Thanks for posting this WestPhillyUke.

If you guys are after tabs just PM sugarinthegourd. He is a lovely guy and willing to share them with anyone who is interested.
 
Sounds really nice...and that looks like a vintage uke too...wow wee....Thanks for sharing...Happy Strummings...MM Stan
 
Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

Eugene, I should point out that I am in fact "sugarinthegourd" -- I had wanted to change my UU handle to better reflect my focus on making local uke connections. I wasn't able to change the username, so I abandoned the old one and will from now on be known as WestPhillyUke on UU.

Best wishes,

John
