A bit of shameless self promotion here, but this a new band I put together and I am pretty excited about it. Here is our version of "Japanese Sandman," written by Richard Whiting, and Raymond B. Egan. It was recorded by Django Reinhardt, Earl Hines, and Artie Shaw to name a few.

Thanks, fellows

The band is still in its infancy but we are building up a good amount of songs. I've been wanting to have a band like this for years, and i'm pretty lucky that it has worked out so far.
