Professor Longhair, "Go to the Mardi Gras"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week I'm taking you all to New Orleans for Professor Longhair's "Go to the Mardi Gras" on the Ron label, from 1959...

"It's not often I make a choice based on what I'm up to, but this week I cannot resist as I'm actually going to New Orleans! "Go to the Mardi Gras", also known as "Mardi Gras In New Orleans", was co-written by "Fess" and he recorded it several times. In the the late 40s, for Ron in 1959, and again in the 1970s when he had a major resurgence and finally got the acclaim he deserved as the King of The New Orleans Piano Players. Bon Temps Roulet!" - KV
