New Orleans, LA
_Please, if you're ever at an event like this. please do not be obnoxious with your phone. Look how polluted this scene is with ugly smartphones hovering everywhere even in musicians faces and people marching.
There are plenty of other people making videos that you can look up later. You aren't even going to watch your cell phone video, ever, maybe once or twice to show a friend. Please be considerate.
Thank you for filming and sharing this
Getting ready for my next visit this weekend; thought I’d look this one up. It’s only been a year or so, but the city has lost a few definite legends since I’ve last been there. Don’t ever change, NOLA. As legends pass, ensure that their legacies live. God bless Dr. John.
Even the Indians came out pretty for the great Doctor. Love NOLA! Greatest city in the world.
Beautiful
Proper send off for the Good Doctor! RIP Mac
Wonderful love ❤️ and Heaven for Malcolm John 💪💓☮️
Dr John has gone.
1st Verse the Dr has left the building and across
this mortal plain. I cried tonight from sadness, as he boarded that heavenly
train. He walked on Gilded Splinters with a Zulu staff of light and as he
lifted into to the sky he whispered ‘such a night.’
I wrote a second verse
for Dr. John after viewing the second line in New Orleans. His granddaughter
Steph was in the middle of the crowd. I thought what would he say or do if he
was a ghost watching all this from the side lines and then it came to me.
Verse 2.
I walked across the Levee and through the Treme today. The second
line was waiting for the tubas to start a parade. The trombones slid up on the
trumpets and the drums just felt so tight, was this for Fats, Fess or Toussaint
but something was just not right. I recognized a girl in the middle of the
crowd, it was my granddaughter Steph singing and crying out loud.
Verse 3.
I caught a reflection in a window and the person looking back,
It was then I recognized the man who some call Malcom "Mac"
Rebennack. My feet suddenly left the ground as I slowly rose above, I realized
at once it was for me, all this outpouring of love. I hovered above the music
as I floated with the wind, I heard a gospel choir and that finally drew me in.
The angels surrounded me and rang a golden chime, it’s time to leave the
crescent city and the loves I've left behind. I've never felt so good and sad a
tear ran down my face. I was in the right time as I entered heaven and crossed
over the pearly gates.
Love Richard Tbear
Fats refers to Fats Domino Fess is professor Longhair and
Toussaint is Alan Toussaint all had second line parades.
Richard TBear , that was hauntingly beautiful and made me actually cry as I could picture it as if it were happening your words displayed it so you could feel it happening ...
@@bellsca1917 thank you so much he meant so much to so many. Please feel free to Facebook friend me at T Bear.
@@RTB88KEYS Done!
Absolutely perfect!!! Just Absolutely Perfect!!!
That was a marvelous send off for the good Dr. The 5:30-7:15 mark was a nasty phenomenal groove with the horns and the percussion. I see where John Bonham got a lot of his influence.
One thing everyone knows about Dr John other then he loves music, is his love of his city....you poured out of his soul and into his songs...
RIP
dont leave me.
Walk on gilded splinters, brother...
What an honor. I hope I do something in this life that warrants so much respect and unity. Think anybody’s arguing about trump in that crowd?
Definitely
