[Dixielandjazz] Louisiania?

Joe Darensbourg's autobiograhy, "Telling It Like It Is" spells the tune

Lou-Easy-An-I-A

He should know how to spell the tune title I thought.
It has been aborted by numerous musicians over the years, they have never
learnt the wordos of the song.
Again from the book
                                        Lou
                                        Easy
                                        An
                                        I
                                       A

He was homesick when he wrote the song (memory says Seatle but I would not
bet the family jewels on that) no red beans and rice for a while.
