I'm well familiar with the tune, and have the Littlefield lead sheets with the patter included, but I've never played the patter before and I don't know any recordings which include the patter. Can the peanut gallery refer me to any (particularly on Youtube or similar) just so I can get the feel of it?

Dear Les (and the other Listmates involved, so far, in this thread),
My first reaction was that you were referring to the February 1942 Bob Crosby Decca rendition with the opening patter between Nappy Lamare and Eddie Miller.

Australians were introduced to it in the mid 1940s and knew the words by heart.
However, it was not until 1975 that Jess and I finally tasted a NOLA po’ boy sandwich.
And we were certainly not disappointed.
I did not discover the rarely-sung verse of the song until later in the 1950s.
Cheers,
Bill.
