Man where have I been? I can’t believe I missed the news of Al Copeland’s death. I’m living in ALabama. I miss home. I miss New Orleans East, and The French Quarter. I miss the food! I miss the people, the way they tawk.

Thank you for linking this story here. If it weren’t for you, I would never have read this article.

Also, I really enjoyed the SJI compilation article in Offbeat. There were obvious choices and to your credit, some very interesting choices that forced me to go back and listen to versions that aren’t in my normal SJI rotation.

Lottle Liza (ever oscene verse of it) is as much a part of NO street corner culture as Indian song. And to suggest that either classic jazz song be retired, well, he’s an idiot with no appreciation of the culture of the city he is writing about.

Of course, the Hot 8 played (by request) a slow, dirge-time rendition of St. James Infirmary, then a joyous uptempo version, at Ashley Morris’ funeral at St. Louis No. 3. I thought you might want to know

Comment on The Condoleezza Rice version (?!) by nonotes

Yes. Correct. But read the item, and you’ll see it’s clearly a joke.

She still plays to this day, but informally — and a classical repertoire, not “SJI” at the White House.

Actually, she *is* an accomplished pianist. Her folks wanted very much for her to become a (classical) pro. When she was 17, she went to a summer piano camp for the first time, and was daunted by the often much younger talent she encountered. She returned from the camp, and flat told her parents she was done with music.

Cheers!
