Product Description

This song's roots go back to medieval England and may or may not refer to a hospital for lepers. Or maybe one for prostitutes. Or for young rakes with veneral disease and an addiction to alcohol. Whatever the case, it has been through many iterations, many names and many supposed composers. Louis Armstrong's 1928 recording put it permanently on the U.S. blues/jazz map.
This rendition is inspired in part by a treatment by Troy Andrews, otherwise, and mostly, known as Trombone Shorty.
