Paul Barnes played 'Georgia' from the Bechet session on his show last 
night. He devoted the last hour of the show as a moving tribute to 
Humph. as well as the Bechert track, he palyed an early record by George 
Webb's Dixielanders as well as a selection of others from across the 
years. What was apparent was the great phrasing, tone and timing Humph 
brought to the music.

Catch Paul's tribute for the next seven days at:

For those who have not heard Humph in comedy mode, listen to the 
hilarious 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' on BBC Radio 4 An episode from 
1995 is on the 'Listen Again' site at
