I met Pokey about 5 years ago when he was wearing a pin stripe suit. Must have been all of 5’5″ tall 120 lbs soaking wet with sweat. Nobody was too interested in his music at little blues bar, even tho spossedly a retro crowd.  Cupl weeks after he signed the only Cd he sold that night, he’s on Letterman.  I grew up watching Leon Redbone and Steve Martin on SNL. Maybe this is what pre-Dixieland sounded like in bars and on steamboats? The greatgrandmother of rock’n’roll that was birthed from Storytown NOLA…

Gotta love the instrumentation.
