    You can always tell from the way he finishes that he just doesn't want to stop playing....Hell, does anybody want him to stop playing?! With any luck, the good Doctor's music will just keep going on forever and ever.

    have been so fortunate to have seen him live a handful of times but years apart ~ making it always apparent that his daily playing allows his songs and arrangements to evolve over time into sublime perfection ~ no other way I can describe it except that's the only way to achieve transcendent nirvana: daily playing so that music is your life

    "didn't he ramble" IS NOT about a guy who robbed whites, it's a song stateing the fact that the person who is now gone may now be dead, but they sure did have a great time about it while they were here on this earth; that's why it's sung after the body is put in the crypt and the funeral procession is leaving the cemetery. It's meant to be splice for the grieving as to say they are gone now but what a great time he had while they were earthly.
    I should now, I'm from NOLA and been to many a wake and funeral procession. Im also Irish and plan on having it played at my wake.

I really enjoyed Dr. John. He was one of a kind. Everyone is. But not everyone lives up to what that potential is that's way down deep inside of them. So may he rest in peace.

      @andrewbarrett1537 5 лет назад

      J Fitz Yes, "Those Were the Days", by Charles Strouse, and/or "Remembering You" by Roger Kellaway. Both good tunes, but that figuration, in 8th notes with an ascending diatonic scale starting on the fifth / Sol, then going up until the b3 (or #2) / Ri, and ending on the third / Mi, (and starting on beat 2 of the bar, and ending on beat 1 of the next bar), goes back even before those two tunes. The earliest appearance I can remember, of this figure, complete with octave-chorded tremolo on the top note as the 'payoff', is the start of the first theme of "Sleepy Hollow Rag" by the great Clarence Woods, from 1918.
