@djmarlinesamuelsondbdbg: Awesome to hear Lenny play again..thanks so much for the treat.

Thanks a lot for your tapes! It'd be great if you'd compile them and liberate them as lossless bootlegs. Cheers!

I heard this once solo at the Latin Quarter Coffee House in a church basement in 1968 ish and never thought I'd hear it again...thanks sooo much.

Such great phrasing and tone. Thx a lot for posting.

Nice to hear Lenny’s cool opening reharms, and great groove when the rhythm guys jump in. You gave me a present out of the past.

Here’s another one I found on an old reel. I was looking for a version of Lenny playing this tune to post, sort of a holiday treat. He didn’t play it that often but I recall several times he did, however it looks like this is the only recording I made of it, although I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else has a version. This one is cool as Lenny was in high spirits, joking around a lot, so I didn’t edit out the talking; hearing his voice brings back this night so clearly. It’s funny as hell… his introduction of the players and especially when he introduces himself, well you will hear it. 
I taped this on same machine we borrowed on that classic winter night that I told about previously and posted some songs from. This is also from winter 1976-77 in Nashville but a different night. They played this at end of a set so they did a short break tune, Blues in Bb, so I left it on as well. Gene Autry never sounded like this before!    Stephen Anderson
