[Dixielandjazz] Marie Laveau

[RickeyZ]

And let's hoist a brew to Shel Silverstein (RIP) who wrote the song, and 
Bobby Bare, who made it a hit.

You can hear the tune here, MKOM, if not OKUM.

When I was down in Belize, I had a big black lady who loved to do that 
scream when we played the tune.

Mojo (as in "Mojo Bone") means "Magic" in Kriol... as used in this 
wonderful Bobby Darin tune.

Bobby doesn't sing my favorite verse
"I'm goin' down to Louisiana,  Get me a mojo hand.
I'm going to have all these women, locked under my command"

"Mojo Hand" is the same as "Mojo Bone", chicken feathers and all.
In Belize,  they believe in all that stuff.

Anyway, maybe YKOM??
