[Dixielandjazz] Flanders and Swann (that is not a duck).

[G. William Oakley]

They were indeed great.  I still listen to the two albums I have, "At the
Drop of a Hat" and "At the Drop of Another Hat."
I had the great fortune to see them when they appeared in Denver probably
around 1959 or 1960.
One of my favorite tunes was "The Reluctant Cannibal."  When the young
cannibal emphatically says, I won't eat people, eating people is wrong," the
elder cannibal responds with, "If the Great JuJu had not meant us to eat
people, why did he make them of meat?"
A most charming and witty duo.
Best,
Bill
