What a sad moment... I don't recall the radio program but I may have been too young. I do remember the records my Dad played. Lots of jazz incl Kid Ory's creole jazz. My brother grew up playing jazz, starting with the clarinet then he mastered each instrument except drums. His bedroom was next to mine so him practicing his trombone was a family affair. My Dad influenced my love of jazz.
I knew of VOA growing up in America probably from watching old movies.
There are Willis Conover jazz hour clips on YouTube.
Trump also wants to rid us of NPR and PBS 😩
Such a beautiful tribute to something truly good and great and important…thank you!
