   No, I wasn't on the Jazz Ltd. Band when Preacher Rollo was there.  In fact 
I didn't know that he had been on that band.

   I remember well in my college days listening to Preacher Rollo's Dixieland 
Breakfast Club radio show out of Florida. It was carried on midwest stations. 
 A great little show whith a good band and feature numbers from Marie Marcus 
on piano. This would have been late 40s or early 50s.
