George Formby meets Glenn Miller

Well, here's something different!

As a change, and distraction, from my usual classical style I've done an arrangement of that old Formby favourite of Leaning on a Lampost, swing style.  I've layed it out for a dance orchestra like Glenn Miller's but preserved the original structure of the song.  Not a ukulele in sight! (Sorry, George.)

It was quite fun to write, what with triplets all over the place and the offbeat, bar-crossing notes typical of swing.
