[Dixielandjazz] from WWL -Vintage Jazz RadioShows

[Bob Romans]

Hi Ed...
Speaking of Colorado late night broadcasts...there was a great radio show in 
the '40's playing popular tunes, and the theme song was "Purple Pyramids". 
Has ANYONE ever heard of that tune? My brother and I would stay awake just 
to hear the theme song, then turn off the radio and go to sleep...wish I 
could find it now...it probably wouldn't sound nearly as good as it did 
then!
