Sweet, hot, romantic, and vernal: another delicious performance from Mike Lipskin’s Stride Summit at Jazz at Filoli on August 10, 2014, featuring Chris Dawson, piano; Mike, piano; Robert Young, soprano saxophone; Paul Mehling, guitar. The song is MY HONEY’S LOVIN’ ARMS, which I first heard on Bing Crosby’s recording (“A cozy Morris chair / Oh, what a happy pair!”) and later in various Eddie Condon joy-fests (trombonist Cutty Cutshall called it MAHONEY for short, I have heard).
But here’s some honey-love in the garden for all of you:

Nice group. I also have that green colored Columbia version of Bing doing “arms” and I still love the tune.
My first intro to “Honey’s Arms” was by the Fire House Five, cirta 1950.
Delicious! I could listen to these two pianists work their magic all day~ Thank you NM.
Thank
