Although Harry James had a big band hit with "Sleepy Lagoon," I always remember Sneaky Pete's version from the l970s. I also enjoyed Doug Beaumier's non-pedal arrangement that he posted a few years ago. I'm using my tenor sax and MSA Classic pedal steel for my version of the tune

That Sleepy Lagoon was my favorite on his album too, But listening to your youtube of it is what got me here in a search.
Your version is also very nice, and By By Blues is amazing.
