  • @girlwithdragontattoo I'd also love to know...

  • @jellyrollbaker its more reminiscant of Jack Dupree rather than fats i think. Still yeah great performance

  • its no fats domino but sounds great anyways!!

  • This is worth its weight in gold. Thank you.

  • I just did a piano lesson on this arrangement. It's hard alright, but not as hard as it sounds.

  • I own this video and if you haven't seen him do Swanee River, do yourself a favor and watch it. He TEARS it up!

  • I don't even like blues but this is really cool.

  • wow

  • @hah13 I too prefer Fats Domino's version of The Fat Man, however, Mac's version here is more like Jack Dupree's version of Junker Blues that he recorded for OKeh records in Chicago circa 1940.

  • I am so glade to be from NOLA and to see this man live since I was a kid is such a beautiful thing, thank you DR. for your music
