8 Mar 2011: it's... Mardi Gras!

I'm guessing "Call Me When You're Sober" will not be played, nor even requested by any Fogheads.

Everyone in my family gives a BOS to the Dixie Cups original IKO IKO, Gabriel's favorite song.

I guess everyone thought the idea of taking copious notes in Mike's absence was too burdensome!

 ;) :D ;D ;) :D ;D

A fine assemblage indeed. AL got this one right. Her dad and mine must have been of the same generation--both of 'em played the hell out of Al Hirt. Going for the 10-way tie today--or maybe 11-way, including the 'Fess tune under the backsell.
Let's get right to it.

indeed -- sounded wonderful on the replay; I was dreading "Congo Square", Moreytrina that it is, but that live version was a major upgrade.
