December 2011. Remembering Kenny, and Coco Robicheaux; both authentic, unique guitarists who died recently within weeks of each other due to medical problems (as did local guitarist-songwriter Mark "Slewfoot" McLaughlin, mid-year). Original tune by Miss Irene and Mike Darby, performed @Checkpoint Charlie's roadhouse (Esplanade/Frenchman); with "Dr. Scott" Conklin (guitar, left), Mike Darby (guitar) , Sam Price (bass), Michael Burkart (keyboard); Marc Hewitt (guitar, rear); Doug Belot (drums); "Iron Man" (congas).
Here's Miss Irene's facebook page:

This video has been "monetized" by Google Ads (with explicit permission from Irene and Mike); and proceeds, if any, will be shared with struggling local musicians (and their families after they leave us). Let's hope one of my Channel's monetized videos "goes viral" some day, so I can fill the tip jars of all local musicians, singers and song writers :)
