[bakerjonez]

What is the title of the song that starts at 0:38?

[lkeber]

@bakerjonez It's called "Papa Was a Rascal" and is off the album Spiders On The Keys, recorded live at the Maple Leaf.

I'm 57 and from England and I'd never heard of James Booker till a couple of years ago, even though I knew Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John etc. To me he is an astonishing pianist, the best of the lot. I hope you can release the documentary over here in Britian.

@monkeytown1000 Most definitely! When the film is done, we'll definitely show it in Britain. There's a ton of Booker fans over there, it seems. Thanks for the support!
