Cornbread talks Thomas 1976

When I went through the last music clip I realized what an unique show this actually was. Clarinet player Joe Cornbread Thomas, an original musician from New Orleans who grew up with Louis, Wingie and was still here to tell about it. I decided to present you with that full show here in youtube.
Peter Appleyard, the show's host is originally from Scotland, moved to Canada and played for quite a few years with the Benny Goodman sextet. Here is this short interview with our band's guest. note: Our pilot show with Joe as our guest won the producer several contracts. In the three years following Bill Cooke produced another 75 jazz shows.
