Wow! Great, Jim. I've long been a Tampa Red fan, and was especially delighted with his parody When I Take My Vacation In Harlem.

I learned only the chorus to the gospel song, When I Take My Vacation In Heaven, more than 50 years ago, but never knew there were verses. When I saw Tampa Red's words, I searched, and found, several verses to "...Heaven." Will post those in a new thread.

Thanks again - Mary
