This 1902 composition served as a transition tune from ragtime to traditional jazz. Originally written in 2/4 in the key of G, it became a traditional standard in the key of F, most often played in up-tempo 4/4. It also has a rarely performed verse as well as the well-known chorus. This arrangement includes both, and begins with the lesser known verse. It starts in the key of F and modulates to the original key of G for the final chorus. Hughie Cannon also wrote the lyrics, which undoubtedly contributed to this tune's vast popularity. Lead tombone range is to high C, while other ranges are moderate. This inventive romp slides and glides from ragtime, to modern jazz and even a jazz waltz and requires no improvisation.
