OK folks, here's the straight poop. Jack was visiting me at my place on 912 Toulouse Street in New Orleans in 1953. One day he made up this little tune on his guitar and said he was gong to call it the 912 Blues after my address. I pointed out to him that it wasn't a blues;
different chord structure. I suggested he call it the 912 Greens after the banana trees that grew in the patio outside. It predated Arlo's Alice's Restaurant by many years. Billy Faier
