Default yesterdays by jerome kern

hi

im currently learning the standard yesterdays.

I was wondering if any of you guys ever use the secound time ending? especially for solo's as i would imagine it would sound odd having a chorus of 19 bars!

is there famous versions i should know? do they bother with the secound time ending?

thanks

Fun tune. I always enjoy playing parts of the melody from Alone Together over the changes, as they share many of the same chords. Randall gave you the way I have seen it played, and have played it. Good luck.
