  • Classico!!!

  • legend

  • @McVouty He sings "Salé dame, laissez moi voir" which means DIRTY LADY, LET ME SEE. I didn't understand what he wants to see but it's quite obvious...

  • LOL - at 1:57 he sings "Sallee Dame" which is creole slang for "dirty lady" - Sallee Dame was an "insult song" like "the dozens". I wonder what the translation is for the end of the Salle Dame phrase? - Danny was known to throw a few ribald things in. But only in a way that if you got it, you were supposed to - while it sailed over the heads of the others.

    He really illustrates how to play with a song lyric and have fun with it.

  • One of the founding pioneers of New Orleans jazz - from founding a marching band to recording with Dizzy & Charlie - he was loved by all and recorded with them all. A wonderful long life 1909 - 1994.

  • awesome!

  • Great to see Dan Pawson again,played bass with him in the 70s.Many memories.thankyou.
