Subject: Sweet Man sheet music or tabs
I'm learning a lot of old stuff on the uke and it's quite fun. I've learned Black and White Rag, Charleston, Five Foot Two and a Phil Baxter Orchestra tune from 1930 called "Ain't Got No Gal Now" which is a freebie since it has the identical chord progression of Five Foot Two. I'm learning Heliotrope Bouquet by Joplin and Chauvin after some guy I saw playing it on the uke said he learned it from the piano music. I have all of Joplin's rags in a nice little book so I've started using that and it's working. That's coming along. So now I know I can play anything on the uke I have the piano music to.

My favorite Charleston-type tune is Sweet Man by Maceo Punkard and Roy Turk from 1925. Jelly Roll Morton does a great piano roll version. But what I need is the music to it. Does anybody have it?
