Fred isn't mentioning Sugar Blue, but a song called Sugar Blues.

Ah, yes, I see. I guess his harmonica hand movements are what confused me. I must stop thinking as a harmonica player so much! :)

Probably a little too late for that.

just to tie this all together, a fine version, one man band style, by Mr.Adam Gussow, of the Sanford and Son theme song:

Adam that would be a good one for Harmonica Band Reboot. Imagine a section of Bass harmonicas.

Interesting idea Sarge.
In case anyone wants to take a crack at it, I found this 1948 score on the web. Sugar Blues I like the cover art that accompanies this. This how people bought popular music before there were recordings. And apparently afterwards as well as the recording is advertised on the cover. Note the ASCAP seal and the ukelele tuning on the first page.
It is written in C and has the following accidentals;
Eb, D#(Eb), G#(Ab), A#(Bb), Bb, G#(Ab), the natural versions of these notes occur in the tune also, so it might be a bit tricky on a diatonic. The range is just over and octave from Middle C to D, so you could use and Eb harp and only need a 5 overblow to have all the notes for this tune. I haven't played with it yet. I would like to hear other more experienced suggestions on how to approach this just looking at the score.
