Dear Carol,
Could that have been Bob Achilles, not Joe?
The clarinet/baritone sax player who worked with the Harry James 
orchestra in the 60s and recorded with The Kings of Dixieland in 1962?
By sheer coincidence he is in the video and on the Dot record date for 
"Green Onions" which was discussed on the DJML earlier this week.
You might be able to identify him from the <youtube> clip.
[The Subject line must have changed as I can't find the link to the 
video. Sorry.]
Kind regards,
Bill.
