[Dixielandjazz] FW: Allen Toussaint/canonizations

[Louis Lince]

Hi Charlie,

I really do believe that Allen Toussaint does deserve the good words that 
have been written about him. He always admitted the debt he owe to Professor 
Longhair. He was a prime influence on Dr. John. The Minit label would never 
have got off the ground without him. His SeaSaint studios produced some 
wonderful material. Irma Thomas owes a lot to him, as do the Meters. perhaps 
not "OKOM" but it is New Orleans music. I was privileged to meet him some 
years ago.

Just a thought. I'm now running for cover

Best

Louis
