[Dixielandjazz] Dr. John

[Stephen Barbone]

Dr. John may not be very well known by some list mates as posts have
indicated. Yet he is a real treat. For the complete story on Dr. John,
see:

It is several pages long. Just click on the bottom headline at the end
of each page to get to the next one. It is a worthwhile read for lovers
of New Orleans Jazz, especially towards the end, from 1992 on.

I was lucky enough to sub in his band for one night in the 1990s when
his clarinetist got sick in Philadelphia. Quite an experience.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
