Words and Music by Irving Berlin, Arr. Roger Holmes

Recording Credit: Erin Anne Beirne, with iPhone 4 using iRecorder Pro. (Yes, we know, it isn’t exactly Hi Def… but it’s better than the paper discs Charlie Parker had to record on during WWII! We’ll work on getting better recordings when we reconvene next fall.)
