[Dixielandjazz] WWL N.O. Jazz Club Blue Room Broadcast themesongfrom '50s, early '60s?

[Hillesheim, Jim]

Thank you, thank you! Now to find a recording, or a copy of same. I did
a search on 
George H Buck's Jazzology Labels to no avail. Any suggestions as to
where else I might
look?

Clarinet; Santo Pecora - Trombone; Armand Hug - Piano; Tony Greco -
Bass; 
Freddie King - Drums. New Orleans Records NOR 7206, recorded May 21,
