Nice rendition, melody line could have a bit more "swing" to it but over all really good!

Thanks Mark and John.
Thanks Champagne and Tony - Yes, this is for fun.  I'm an amateur in the true sense of the word (someone who engages in an activity for the love of it.... but if someone coughs up a quarter for a download I can call myself 'professional'.  ha ha). 
Tony - Thanks for the insight on adding more swing.  I'll work on that.  I ventured out of my comfort zone on this.... the early versions were horribly dry.
 
Thanks again everyone.
 

Slick, glad to see someone is not too proud to do a classic like this.  I liked it.  I also don't see need here to worry about the separation.

Hi Jeffrey, fun tune and different guitar tones. Not sure what to make of 1:33 to 1:44 ; )

Thanks Daryl.  Redoing classics is becoming a hobby.  Not sure if I can explain this, but as a self-taught guitarist, I'm finding it forces me to think of the guitar more as a musical instrument.  Trying to mimic other instruments makes me try things I'd never try otherwise.  Plus it's fun.
 
Rikkie - You got it.  That part is a struggle that will need some more practice.  There are some slides, first finger bends with hammer-on/pull-offs, but mostly it goes back to Tony's comment that I need to work on capturing the sax's jazzy/swing feel....
 
... which I'll have time to do since I just sent in my graphics card for repair. 

Henry Mancini was one of my biggest influences... My dad was a big fan, and had several of his albums including "Hatari"... that's the one that did it for me... that opening theme still gives me a thrill... "Baby Elephant Walk" was on that album, and I must have listened to it hundreds of times...
I loved your tribute... really well done, and very cool... thanks..!  
 

One of my favorite childhood songs, too.  Sounds really good, tho a few low-pass filters could help round out the sounds and make it seem more vintagey.  When you say separation that is some of what you mean, I think.  Everything is pretty bright and overlaps which means stuff steps over itself.
 
If I was mixing it I'd probably try to turn down the rhymth guitar a bit after the intro to let some of the other rhythm stuff come out.
 
But a good take on a great song.  All the sound drops had me smiling - even more than the fun rhythm did.
 
Thanks,
