This is the hands down best version of this song! A radio personality and one of the funniest guys I know named Gary Burbank used this as his theme song on 700 WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio. I listened to him for 15+ years on a daily basis and this song is ingrained in very being!
I know that every New Orleans musician has been influenced by the late great Professor Longhair's amazing style.. You listen to musicians today and they will throw in those famous Fess Riffs... Only in NewOrleans !!!
You honestly have NO idea how long it took me to find THIS- the best version! There are so many where the brass is just killing the whistle and, therefore, not a perfect balance. Thank you SO much for this post!!!

The songwriter Wardell Quezergue just passed away this week. He also wrote "Iko Iko". Hard to top.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Quezerque, and thank you for the ideas you made real.

Anyone who ever listened to the Gary Burbank radio show knows this version all too well. It was his intro for years and years.
