Jeez. That's brought back memories.
So that is the A train that Duke Ellington wrote about?
In the days of the Home Service, Light Programme and Radio Luxembourg, if I was very careful I could just about pick up Voice of America's Jazz hour on my Dad's old radio.
DUke Ellington's Take the A Train was the signature tune and it would come in barely audible over the static

Rather interestingly they're just playing that Duke Ellington song on Radio 2 right now! They were interviewing someone (obviously not Mr. Ellington) about it, but I wasn't listening properly so I don't know who it is.
