Professor Longhair & Dr. John - New Orleans 1977 Double Feature

As I'm offline (thanks to my provider...) the links are hidden in here (look for the numbers...) as I can't programme comments to appear at a certain time. Sorry for that, but last time I did it like this, it worked out pretty well!

So, what's on the menu today?

Funky Easter Gumbo!

These two shows were shared on dime recently in "fixed" versions by "lolita" (well, err, yes...), but they contained those annoying 2-second gaps. EAC did a nice job of getting them away automatically, and as this is some truly good music, here they are again, a fix of the fixed version, so to speak... thanks to all involved in bringing this great music into circulation!

Meet the Professor and the Good Doctor...
