RIP Dr. John and Leon Redbone. Great music from both of them

In 1972 I worked the New Years Eve bash at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix.

Headliner was Jerry Riopelle
Dr John was also on the bill

I partied with them backstage and helped unload all their outrageous costumes

I remember some guy named Mookie in the band

I ended up on the roof dropping balloons onto the venue at midnight

A great memory

I was in the right place

The first I ever heard of him was when I bought this overstock album in a Walgreens checkout line.....

The South's Greatest Hits, I still have this record with cut corner and all

But later bought this album for the title track

That song is so well recorded and the instruments are all so well defined. I have to think if it was produced today it'd be a digitally processed hash.
