[Dixielandjazz] from WWL -Vintage Jazz RadioShows

[Ed Danielson]

Sorry, Bob, that was before my time; moved to Denver in 1956 (2nd grade).  A 
song title search for "Purple Pyramids" on the All Music Guide turned up 
plenty of interesting results, but no exact match... "Purple Rain" and 
"Purple People Eater" turn up (but not "Deep Purple"), and a song called 
"Pearl Pyramids."

>Hi Ed...
>Speaking of Colorado late night broadcasts...there was a great radio show

>>I used to listen to the WWL broadcasts.  I was in high school in the mid 
>>60s, and WWL made it into Denver pretty clearly.  The host at that time 
>>was a guy named Harry Souchon, and I always wondered how he might be 
>>related to Dr. Edmond Souchon (I think someone once mentioned that he was 
>>a nephew). The show's theme song was a great version of the New Orleans 
>>tune originally recorded by Louis Armstrong's Hot Five, "Yes I'm In the 
>>Barrel," by Tony Parenti, and I've been looking for that record ever 
>>since.  Looking forward to checking these out.
