This song is a contrafact of "Honeysuckle Rose" which means it has the same chord progression but a different melody. It's written by Charlie Parker.

I had learned that - way back in ~2010 (2009?). And today - my bookmark notes reminded me of it. Starting in ~2008 I begin to listen to jazz all the time and take notes about it. And by ~ 2010 I realized it would be very helpful to date my notes. Sometimes they make me laugh. In 2010 I might have have said "This is cover is great!" And then when I listened again - say three months ago - I simply deleted the bookmark thinking to myself - "This performance is third rate at best. What was I smoking in 2010???"
My notes for Scrapple...
2023-10-11 I like it now??? Covers of this are interesting. Note - sometimes the melodic instrument and the guitar (or even piano) play in unison together in the opening.
2012-01-18 I don't like it much but I have 3 bookmarks for it though.
I love covers so sometimes I ended up bookmarking covers even if I didn't like (or hated) the original performance. A great example of a great cover and a terrible original is I Fought the Law. The Clash's cover is one of the best covers ever. But the original is awful. I couldn't believe how bad it was.
