I recently did a post about Fess {that's the nickname for Professor's nickname}, including links to some YouTube posts featuring him, and one of the best comments i got from a reader was: "Fess played intros that were better than most peoples' careers".When Professor Longhair stepped on a rainbow in 1982, we lost one of the true geniuses of American music.Some of my New Orleans friends knew Fess.I'm sorry i never got the chance.I did (briefly) meet his widow at the 1987 New Orleans JazzFest; she was signing posters and suchlike that WWOZ was selling to raise money.This film should be widely available - why isn't it?
