Sorry, no chords for you right now ~ I'd just like to advise anyone intersted to check out this song as recorded by the late Danny Barker, one of the giants of New Orleans music.

Danny was not only a pioneer trad-jazz guitar and banjo player (with many years of service in Louis Armstrong's bands), but a great solo entertainer and a very humorous singer. His wife, "Blue Lu" Barker, was an outstanding pianist and for years the two of them put on some excellent shows. I think she was the first to popularize the delightful "Don't You Feel My Leg."

Danny's idiosynchratic version of "St. James Infirmary" is also pretty notable. With luck, you might find both of these numbers on the same compilation CD.

Danny also gets credit for single-handedly saving the New Orleans brass band tradition, which was disappearing back in the 1970s. He formed a band of teenagers and pre-teens under the sponsorship of the Fairview Baptist Church, taught them the entire traditional jazz-funeral repertoire, and encouraged them to bring their own contemporary sensibilities to their music. Those kids grew up to become founding members of The Dirty Dozen, the Rebirth, and other groups, kicking off a whole new generation of street-beat ensembles.
