Was Juke improvised or "arranged?" I've got a LW CD with an alternate take
of Juke that is very different;this might suggest that the Juke we know was
improvised,or it could it be that it was more-or-less an arrangement that LW
had worked out on the bandstand while playing the tune with Muddy's
group,and the alternate take was the improvisation?[if that makes
sense]Maybe Scott Dirks would be kind enough to weigh in on this if he's
still on the list? Otherwise,opinions?

WVa Bob..........Since you asked for opinions, I'll ventured my wild ass guess.
(Can't be any more factual than that.)  I would guess the opening riff and the
song structure were probably "arranged".   Or, at least, loosely decided upon. 
I'd say the solo is more likely to be improvised.  I haven't heard the
outtakes.  How does it differ from the released version?  In the solo?, the
theme?, the overall structure?
