Sunrise Serenade: Cuckoo in the Clock

The "Sunrise Serenade" is the music that happens to be running through my head when I wake up in the morning.  Today's serenade was "Cuckoo in the Clock" by Benny Goodman with Johnny Mercer on vocals.  Click on the song title to go to the album page on emusic.  Sample clip on Disc #2, Track #21.
