    Thanks, Jazzcaz.

    Your post made me go back to the piano vocal score to see how it was done in the show — or at least in rehearsals.

    It's sung first by a man in G major, then goes up a minor 6th to Eb and is sung by a woman.

    Here it is in Eb. It's less interesting to me than the later jazz versions.

    No major problems with OLD DEVIL MOON, just a few embellishments and changing the main chord riff from a 6 to a dom. 7 which gives it a "Killer Joe" kind of groove with the swing bass irp is playing. Added an intro, too, as per the changes in the Colorado Cookbook (CC).
