Well, yeah, New Orleans is below sea level. Hard to have a coal mine there. I always wondered what was his inspiration for writing this song,
He was being facetious.
I always heard that as contribution
“Never heard of him. [Honoring a great Freeper tradition.]”
Lol - then I assume you also haven’t owned a TV for 25 years (and are extremely proud of it).
Condolences to family and friends of Allen Toussaint.
sorry to hear this. I met him once in the 1980s backstage at a benefit concert. Many of us amateur musicians were performing along with some pro’s who had volunteered to perform. For someone who had worked with Paul McCartney I found Allen to be laid back and quite easy to talk to. RIP Allen.

Saw him three times including once at Tippetina's in New Orleans.
One of his biggest songs: Southern Nights (big hit for Glen Cambell)
