The main tune for this work was a theme song for Armond Piron's New Orleans
The main tune for this work was a theme song for Armond Piron's New Orleans Orchestra, and the tune was proposed to one of this piece's composers by Lorenzo Tio. As with "Stardust," Michael Parish claimed to have been the true lyricist even though Irving Mills took official credit. In this work's original recording, the composer swapped the usual registers of the clarinet and trombone to create a "mike-tone." The singer ends this work by claiming that "I could lay me down and die," and describes how "in the evening when the lights are low/ I'm so lonesome I could cry." Originally titled "Dreamy Blues," for 10 points, identify this collaboration between Barney Bigard and Duke Ellington whose title emotion the singer "always gets... since my baby said goodbye."
