Angela Morley (Wally Stott) was a superb musical arranger - top of her class in this field. She sadly died earlier this year.

[bobareebop]

@EditorJohn  Yes,absolutely the best. She won two Grammys for her later TV work in the USA.

[Notanotherspambot]

"Ellington's gone out to face the natives with a gun!"

"Good man, he's a deadshot"

"He is now, somebody shot him!"

[dorisboy52]

I listened to the Goons in Wichita,Kansas back in the 70's on radio...old stuff even then...I thought they were genius...along with the Pythons...I became a raging Anglophile from that time...

[poshablyposh]

definately! the goons are the most amazing comedians in all time!!! pythons rule...

[AlexanderT21]

the Pythons got their inspiration from the goons didnt they? :D

[maxwellsgoldenhammer]

yes they did , if you follow goon shows it becomes obvious very quickly where pythons infuence lay

[64098]

Wally Stott's Orchestra, perhaps the best Britain has to offer, and I love all the others.
