Thank you for your comment. Raymond was on my list, but he couldn't make it. I think he was ill.

Wow! What a recording, what a band, what a treasure! Were any of the sessions filmed?

Congratulations - great job!

@Urbino237

Thank you for your kind words. No, I'm afraid we didn't have a film camera around. i should have thought of that.

[ChrisAlbertson]

My listing is correct, that is Creole George Guesnon.

Who is/was Narvin?

Utterly fabulous its such a pleasure to find recxordings like this on you tube!! It's such a pity that the number of viewings is so low - this kind of music is so rare and so precious

and so misunderstood by the general public Thanks for posting it

Thanks chris for sharing.
