Jimmy McCracklin	The Walk "The Walk" by "Jimmy McCracklin"	McCracklin was a long-time feature of the Bay Area R&B scene. This song was a big national hit in 1958. The year before a new dance craze-- "The Stroll"-- hit the scene; I remember people dancing the stroll to "The Walk."	0:02:09 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ: Henry Butler & Steven Bernstein & The Hot Nine	Dixie Walker	I recently read Michael Ondaatje's "Coming Through the Slaughter" (1976)-- a novel about the life of Buddy Bolden, the talented and troubled trumpet player from the early 20th Century. That, among other things, inspired this trip to New Orleans.	1:04:57 (Pop-up)
Danny Barker	Miche Banjo "Miche Banjo" by "Danny Barker"	The only place that African music was legal in the U.S. was New Orleans; this Creole banjo tune celebrates that fact.

This is a cover of a Sidney Bechet tune. One of the best albums ever!	1:34:48 (Pop-up)

Ray Charles	Swannee River Rock "Swannee River Rock" by "Ray Charles"	Will I get in trouble if I say that Ray Charles did not see color? Okay, then I won't.	1:59:54 (Pop-up)
Squirrel Nut Zippers	Ghost of Stephen Foster	Is this song a deep critique of Stephen Foster? Some think so. Foster-- who died in 1864-- was the first great American songwriter. He was at best naive about slavery. But, as this tune shows, his influence lives on.	2:02:12 (Pop-up)
Emmett Miller & His Georgia Crackers	Anytime	Great music but one problem: Done in blackface! In the early days of the 20th Century, minstrel music was the most popular entertainment in the U.S.	2:06:28 (Pop-up)

However, the music critic in the Times the next day wrote an eviscerating review of the show, claiming that bands playing for tips in New Orleans would blow the Zippers away.
	11:45am Hubig Pie: Snobs gotta snob
	11:54am Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Steve. Nice show!
	11:57am Krys O.: Thanks, Steve!
