Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Got the Right Key but the Wrong Keyhole
I have heard the Virginia Liston/Clarence Williams recording.
It is the undiluted real thing,
with the trumpet loudly flubbing one note (ker-SPLAT) ,
the audience laughing and cheering,
the tempo slow, heavy, and broad,
and the singer shouting and enunciating
as one learns to do when, in fact, there are no microphones
and the acoustics in the room are not helpful.

But of course there IS a microphone
and it catches absolutely everything.
I loved it.
