I know that one of the loungers uses this guy's picture as an avatar:
Minor Swing - Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli.

And music by George Olsen. The song is performed by Ethel Shutta who was married to George Olsen. As always, Hads, you hit another one out of the ballpark! I just put it in favorites.

My personal favorite has always been Jane Green's version...
Jane Green -- If You Hadn't Gone Away (1925)


Somebody met you by chance
Broke up our pretty romance
You tried to hide what was inside
But I saw the truth in your glance
Last night when you passed me by
I felt so blue I could cry
If you see a change in me
I've got a good reason why

I wouldn't be where I am feeling like I am
Doing what I am if you hadn't gone away
I wouldn't sit here and laugh at your photograph
That I tore in half if you hadn't gone away
Wherever I go, whatever I do
I want you to know, I blame it on you
And if it's all over town that I run around
Dear, it's all I have to say. I wouldn't be where I am
Doing what I am if you hadn't gone away
