I've been sharing some of the Jooster-flavored goodness of mine, and that I've had shared with me by others in this community, and it's come around like the best kind of "pay it forward" process and I've gotten more goodies. From someone who's not even a Jeeves & Wooster addict! *grin* I know, amazing.
He sent me some music and this comment about it:
"My favourite bits of your Jeeves and Wooster mix have been making the rounds, and finding echo. So far I've received the theme of the series, and several versions of "Topsy" a jazz standard which was notionally supposed to be the show's theme, but allegedly ran into copyright trouble and was eventually abandoned, though not before some "Sounds a hell of a lot like..." circumspections were tried.
Seems to me there's still a good deal of Topsy in the theme itself."
So, see below what he sent, and what I'm sharing with you, lovely and talented Jeeves & Wooster Fans.
Jeeves & Wooster Theme
This is supposed to be two versions of the same piece:
Topsy #1 - Count Basie
Topsy #2 - Count Basie
Fairly obvious, I guess.
Topsy - Benny Goodman
Now, I listened to the two Count Basie versions when I got them and I'm reasonably sure they were different, but I was quite sleepy at the time and may have had sleep dep dain bramage, so let me know if they're identical and I'll snip one out.
Enjoy, friends & neighbors.

Thanks for sharing!
