For the very early grades. . .my classmates included Allen Toussaint and James Booker, guys who would influence my life in ways I couldn't begin to imagine. They would both grow up to be two of the baddest piano playing dudes. . . James was a genius. We're both Saggitarians, and we were both altar boys. . . .Booker taught me so much stuff. Anything he heard, he could duplicate, from Frederick Chopin to Tuts Washington, with all stops in between. - Art Neville in The Brothers Neville [...]

Still in New Orleans, and for obvious reasons, it's hard to resist the impulse to share some music. Given the amazing richness of the city's musical history and tangling of those strands, there doesn't seem to be much point in trying to find something representative of what's in my ears down here. But if one had to pick an ambassador, you could do a lot worse than James Booker, who embodies a big part of the city's soul as well as its less luminous side (ie dying dying unnoticed while waiting for care in the emergency room). Sadly, I went [...]

Man alive I didn't think I'd make it through this week. I'm sorry, but four quizzes and an exam are simply far too many quizzes and exams to be doing in a week. I'll tell you, though, I can draw out the Kreb's Cycle for you now and explain how the Electron Transport System works. It's pretty neato-mosquito... I can even tell you (theoretically) how many ATPs you can generate from a triglyceride with 20 Carbon tails. Yes, it's this kind of information that keeps me on the edge of my seat with every [...]

James Booker : Junco Partner [ purchase ] Drug songs are old as the recording industry. Leadbelly sang Take A Whiff On Me when he was recorded for the first time by John Lomax in Angola in 1933. In Mexico, of course, they've got La Cucaracha. A great idea for a post by the way, and it goes back to 1818. And In New Orleans, of course, they've got Junco Partner. It's the first song that came to my mind when I heard about [...]

Were he still with us, Henry Roeland Byrd, a/k/a Professor Longhair , would have turned 89 just a few days ago, on the 19th. It's been a while since I posted anything by Fess, so I thought I would do one from way back that mentions Christmas, and something from one of his better live recordings. I'm also throwing in one of James Booker's festive, razzled-dazzle numbers for holiday lagniappe. Enjoy. "Curly Haired Baby" [...]
