On 13th September 1966, Delia checked out a tape on which to create "music tracks" for a radio programme "[[Johnny's Jaunt]]" produced by [[R. Pelletier]]<ref name=TLL/> or [[Brian Patten]]<ref name=genome/>

[[Johnny's Jaunt]] is a series of "brilliant travelogues" for radio in which the renowned zoologist [[Johnny Morris]] visits various countries around the world, broadcast from 1954 to 1972.<ref name=genome>[https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?adv=1&media=radio&order=asc&q=Johnny%27s+jaunt Johnny's Jaunt] on the BBC Genome Project</ref>

Johnny re-broadcast his jaunts “word for word”. Some versions were first aired in the early 1960’s and then he re-made them in the 70’s.<ref>[http://johnnymorrisjaunts.co.uk/ johnnymorrisjaunts.co.uk]</ref>

==Episode 1: New York==
"One thing about life in New York is that it's never dull for a minute..."

These are the same 1960s version without music.
==Episode 2: A Train to Boston==

"I don't mind telling you, we were all frightened of the thing. It was extraordinary. We sauntered into the car hire place..."

These are both exactly the same recording, starting with an announcer saying "Last week we left him in Boston".
==Episode 5: St Louis etc==
1960's version, starting: "be at all curious about anything in America is the tongue..."

1970's version: Intro music, then "There's nothing like a touch of curiosity to keep you going and in America of course your curiosity is not only aroused, it's fully woken up and slapped in the face and dragged out of bed. But the one part of the anatomy that slowly ceases to be at all curious about anything in America is the tongue..."
