Great Doctors of our time.

No 4 - Dr. John.

Which Doctor? Yes, That's right. The snappy dressing, head dress wearing, magic sprinkling, ivory tinkling, witch doctor of New Orleans. The gris gris man, gumbo a ya ya, he who walks on gilded splinters, the night tripping duke elegant of R&B, the only true successor to Professor Longhair. The new king of the Mardi Gras, a prince of the piano, a voodoo viscount.
Real name - Mac Rebbenack, this purveyor of fine Blues based carnival type music is one of the truly great under-achievers with just one hit to his name but a back catalogue of superb albums and inspirational guest appearances with other quality artists. If you like your Rhythm and your Blues with spicy flavouring and a brew that has been concocted and cooked in a cauldron, then this is your guy. Check him out.

Interesting (and true) fact. - Dr.Johns first, (and some would say best) album was cut in studio time left over from a Sonny and Cher session.



And now for our very own Earl of the dark arts .............


Dear Dr. Crotchet

As a member of a continually "on the road" touring band, playing gigs up and down the fair isle of merry olde England, I have a question that I am sure is pertinent to every musician in a similar situation. On our long haul north or our sojourn in the south, whilst heading way out west or motoring to the east we have but one thought on our minds. When do we eat? Where do we eat? What do we eat? (O.K. that's three thoughts, but only one subject, you have to admit). Due to parking restrictions that have strangled the life out of the nations high streets whilst lining the grubby pockets of fat councillors, we have no choice but to avail ourselves of the facilities of the notorious and Mafia like institution known as 'The motorway service station'. My question to you is this:- (Hang on, I've got it here somewhere on a piece of paper, oh yes, here it is) - Which is the best choice for replenishing stomachs that are emptier than a pensioners purse?

Yours - The Happy Eater.
