Just out of curiosity I want to ask if there is anything that influences Stochelos choice of key signature? I think Django played this one in the key of Eb originally, while Stochelo seems to have chosen the key of C.

Interestingly, "There will never be another you" is also originally in Eb, but Stochelo plays it in D.
On the other hand, Stochelo plays "My Blue Heaven" in Eb, while Mozes seems to prefer the key of D.

The keys C,D,G and F seem to be the most common, but then again Stochelo plays some songs in Eb, Bb and even Ab.
Interesting question. I'm gonna ask Stochelo tonight at our concert. I do know that when he plays with a violin player (like me) he tends to accomodate them with violin friendly keys like D, G, A, C, F and Bb!

By the way, can you also add the PDF with the chord voicings for this tune to the real book?
