Loading...		The Emperor and the Professor of New Orleans Music: Ernie K-Doe & Professor Longhair

		December 26th, 2012 ~ This week we recall two grand figures of New Orleans music. First, Ernie K-Doe, the surreal soul man known for his catchy songs, and flamboyant antics in New Orleans R&B, from his hit "Mother-in-Law" to serving as host and main attraction of his and wife Antoinette's Mother-in-Law Lounge. Then a piano tribute to Professor Longhair by Dr. John, Jon Cleary and George Porter, live from the legendary New Orleans club Tipitina's, named after Longhair's most famous song. We also play the original recordings with commentary from Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Jerry Wexler, and Cosimo Matassa. Listen To Hour 1 Listen To Hour 2 Share This
