DR. JOHN JAZZ FUNERAL ~ Canal Street - Basin Street 

God I loved new Orleans when I lived there. So much great culture, music and food. Also home to some of the the most brilliant American musicians. R.I.P. Dr. John.

This is the way to say good bye to a Legend. Rest in Peace Dr. 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.

I spent 3 months there in 1970 age 19 after taking the train from Toronto…Lived in a commune…Been back twice since ….lo this city!

Tears streaming down my face as I hear Little Liza Jane without the sweet timbre of the Doctor’s voice singing. We miss you down here in NOLA Mac!

Dr John is rockin with the Ghede now. What a beautiful send off he was given too.

No one like Mac, never will be again. The sad end of an era. Restn heavenly peace, Mule. And say hello to my boys. Love.

This popped up on my recommendations and I’m so glad it did. Man do I miss New Orleans. Fingers crossed for Super Sunday 2022
