Many in my age group may remember the 1963 world-wide hit by Japanese artist Kyu Sakamoto titled Sukiyaki. Its the only tune by a Japanese artist to hit #1 on the U.S. charts. The original Japanese title was Ue O Muite Aruko, meaning I Shall Walk Looking Up (So My Tears Won't Fall). Combine the beautiful melody with my love of dixieland jazz and you get this instrumental version by Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen.
