Since #BandcampFriday is fast approaching, I decided to hasten the release of my new single DOINITRITE (2025 Remaster) (all-caps deliberate…)

Note: While I mentioned earlier that I am closing my PayPal account, I haven’t got round to it yet. Should you feel generous and inclined to help out, your money would still reach me. You are very welcome, however, to get the track for free. In any case I would love to hear, or rather, read your feedback.

(Also, looks like no one has ever tagged their Bandcamp releases with #NoAI​.) 😲

⚜️ In the 1950s, an R&B group known as The Hawkettes, was playing calypso-rumba style music influenced by Professor Longhair. A member of the group was a 16-year-old Art Neville. Art would go on to be a co-founder of The Meters and The Neville Brothers. That's a powerful Black history through-line in New Orleans music.

My favorite NOLA band created a third part to one of their most-loved songs to feature the #NewOrleans Carnival parades and more.

There is a callout here to shake a part of your body that I'm sure you will do with the proper amount of decorum.

🎹 Professor Longhair combined musical influences in the 1940s, creating exciting music with his piano virtuosity while building the foundation of #funk music in #NewOrleans. Influenced many, like Dr. John. More of his songs and info later in this seasonal thread.

"Black or white, local or out-of-town, they all had Longhair's music in common. Just that mambo-rhumba boogie thing."
— Allen Toussaint
