  • @DjShaeMix Well, he certainly was head and shoulders above Scott Joplin or Duke Ellington in playin the piano!

  • @SnakeFuzzMoan Thank you I will have to check it out

  • @Kevsgirl234 Let me correct : Ferdinand Joseph Lamenthe, he came from a French speaking family in New Orleans.

    Read his biography written by Alan Lomax ("Jelly Roll Morton"), if you haven't. Unfortunately, somebody stole the only diamond left (in his tooth) he had when he died...

  • What date was this recorded? And how come i've never heard it before?

  • @crazytown106 go back please

  • @Academic1Researcher Now we're talkin'! I love Storyville history. Amazing music & tabu culture still streams out onto Bourbon, though I have not returned since Katrina :( ~castusvitium 

  • @cholocharile  Have a listen as well to Nina Simone's version. Simply heart-breaking...

  • @DjShaeMix He should be a fucking household name!!!
