A Brill building photo from 1963.Barry Mann at the piano with Cynthia Weil on the left and Carole King on the right.  By theloneranger at 2010-02-20 The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th 1964. That marked a major turning point in popular music,with the balance of power changing from the keyboard to the guitar. Dr John is a keyboard player. The other acts have the guitar as their lead instrument.
"An artist never really chooses when and where they will play.It is for promoters to make offers.It comes down as to whether tours are financially viable." Quote John Mayall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbEHzqildp8

Nailed it Patrick....I fully expect the Doctor to lay down the voodoo phonk and set the tone for what will follow. Interestingly, Mac started out as a guitarist with the bands he was in during the 50's until an unfortunate episode with a gun - he still does play from time to time. I would argue he's had the most "colourful" life of any of this year's artists.

Gooday Pete a couple of years ago at the Ponderosa Stomp.I saw the good Doc playing guitar and it was interesting indeed,I think that they were some songs that he had written but never recorded years ago..

I would've loved to have been at the Stomp that year and see the Doctor play some of his really old stuff. I read somewhere that he found it a real challenge to get his head around those really old tunes he otherwise never plays these days. The Ponderosa Stomp is an amazing event - there are people who go to New Orleans during jazzfest just to see the Stomp (and not jazzfest).

The stomp has beeen moved this year and is not during Jazzfest anymore.Not that I would have gone anyway,I dont like the HOB very much. Anyway I look forward to seeing the Doc at BluesFest.I remember years ago when he played at Red Devil with a fair size band and did his whole Nite Tripper thing etc and it was great.
