I was astounded to find Professor Longhair did not have his own fanclub, so here it is! Rooted in, but not confined to, the sounds of New Orleans, our still-beating musical heart.

    And one for Professor Longhair... http://johnsinclair.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=774:professor-longhair-a-brief-biography&catid=20:features&Itemid=111. This one is one person's view, of course... there are many sides to anyone so iconic!

    Thx for the library info, Mus. May I suggest Little Feat who owed much of their funk to the Prof, and the very swampy Daniel Lanois?

    An instructive link about the "New Orleans Indians" and Professor Longhair or "Fess" is here (along with a great mural image of the Professor at work): http://baseballposse.us/indians.html.

    We have something like 17 artists with no picture, mostly New Orleans local figures. If anybody wants to search for and/or upload pictures for any of those artists, it would contribute to the general appearance of things, besides being generally useful for listeners. Likewise with artist wikis for those who have no bios or other info yet...

    In fact, here it is in one jump: http://www.last.fm/user/ProfessLonghair/library?sortBy=name!

    If it's too taxing to check thru the 200 connections, which are in connection order, the easiest way to find if we have a particular artist is to go to user ProfessLonghair's library and click on "A-Z" for the sort order, then just click on the first letter and look for the artist!

  • musinum

    Dr. John was the first connection after the Professor himself!

    January 2009

  • HealeyIsland

    Definitely need Dr John

    January 2009

  • lucindalight
