Isn't 'Salt Peanuts' Dizzy's ode to weed?

Regardless, here's the latest (and one of the greatest!) versions. I'd say that one of the most neccesary tools for Jazz appreciation is an open mind. Listen 1st, than judge! As to the 'why' it's so heavily covered, obviously showing love and respect for Dizzy's the 1st reason. Add to that it's almost instant recognizability and catchy hook plus the fact that it's fun to play! ba dadda bup baddup ba dop baddup!!;)
