Wow - I remember Pops. God bless him.

I played in a band called "The Dixie Rats" (obviously playing New Orleans "Dixieland" music) when I was a student (82-83), and when we would play at the "STAR" on Hickory, he would come in, and he'd want to sing some blues, and of course we did our best to play behind him. Just like they talk about in that video.

I knew a band he played with at times; called themselves the Atomic Antmen among other names. What a man, He and Levon Helm may be staying up late playing tonight.

Is it wrong that I've been secretly hoping another great musician passes so Pops and Levon have another jam buddy and we can kick Dick Clark out of that 3 bedroom apartment in the sky?
