and listen to the tune there.  It was played on a BBC radio show by the Ray
Ellington Quartet in the mid-1950s.

Does anybody recognize the melody?

Dick,

It sounds familiar but perhaps only because I have heard it in one of BBC 
radio's "Goon Show" programmes from the 1950/60s. Is this where your 
recording came from ? If so do you know the name given to the actual show 
....... each show had its own and often silly title e.g. The Dreaded Batter 
Pudding Hurler of Bexhill on Sea. I have around 120 of these Goon Shows on 
MiniDisc so it will take time to listen to the Ray Ellington feature in each 
of these shows. Even then, there might be a problem of ID'ing that 
particular tune as most of Ellington's contributions were not announced.

In additon to Ray Ellington (ldr, dms,voc) the other musicians were usually 
Laurie Deniz (g), Coleridge Goode (sb) and Dick Katz (p). There is a bio of 
him at: http://www.goon.org/usgoons/ellington.htm
