[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: Fw: Second Line

[Marek Boym]

Doc Souchon!  Wasn't he an obstetrician?
And a criminal under the then in effect Louisiana laws - he played in mixed
racially groups.
A wonderful musician and singer.  One of my favourite records is New
Orleans Daily Jazz (GHB 6), with a mostly white band, but Paul Barbarin wa
the drummer.  And if it really was recorded at a picnic, as the liner
suggests, than it was definitely a transgression of the law.
Cheers
