On the afternoon of April 13, 1956 Louis Armstrong and his All Stars
prerecorded a session to be broadcast over the AMPOL SHOW, a popular night
time show on Australian radio in those days.
They began, of course, with WHEN IT'S SLEEPY TIME DOWN SOUTH, at the end of
which Louis gave his usual "Good evening, everybody". The programme ended
with the same tune, but Louis muffed his words by saying "Good afternoon,
everybody".
Best wishes
Jack Mitchell
PS: I sent a copy of the programme to the American gentleman (whose name
I've forgotten) who was doing an Armstrong discography website - he said he
thought it was the best recording he'd heard by the All Stars.
