[Dixielandjazz] Willis Conover

[John Farrell]

Anton Crouch said about his time in Thailand :

"The things I most remember now are the smell of burning rice stubble, the
taste of nam pla, "Lilliburlero" on the BBC and Willis Conover on Voice of
America."

Way back in the 1950s I too used to listen to Willis Conover's VOA jazz
programme on a crackly shortwave radio when I was a reluctant 18 year old
National Serviceman in North Africa. His signature tune, which I recently
discovered was Neal Hefti's "Coral Reef", is still a particular favourite of
mine.
