So many of the great standards had really nice opening versus that set up the song so well, yet these versus are seldom performed. I guess I don't play the intro versus much because they are not in the fakebooks, but I guess I could get off my lazy backside and listen to the originals and transcribe them. How about you, do you include the opening verses?

This video has the opening verses for "White Christmas" " Over the Rainbow" and "Fly Me to the Moon"

Enjoy.
