Crisp, witty and powerful - the best of the several takes I think

One of his greatest recordings! I worked in radio in my teens and while visiting my mom in San Diego, found Mr. Barnet right in the phone book. I remembered he lived on Anchorage Drive. So, I called him up and he very graciously accepted an invitation to be interviewed by phone the following week from Atlantic City (the station broadcasted from the famous Steel Pier). This was around 1982 I believe. He was a really nice guy!
