So far, nobody's mentioned Better than Ezra's "King of New Orleans."<P ID="signature">______________
If it's the "greatest music ever made," why is it <a target="_blank" href=http://kisn910.com/>relegated to AM</a> or online only?</P>

a few older songs dedicated to the folks in New Orleans

Here are a few older songs (1920s?) for New Orleans:

* Frank Harris : Everything's Going To Be All Right

"The bills keep piling every day;
we keep throwing them away.
Everything's going to be all right!"

* Ted Lewis and His Band : A Jazz Holiday

"Throw all your troubles away.
I do declare this a jazz holiday!"

I was just listening to these!

No, I'm not that old. (My parents don't even remember these!)

73s from 954

Still another perfect song for New Orleans right now

"Now, this here's the story about the Rock Island line
Now, the Rock Island line is a railroad line
And it runs down into New Orleasn
And just outside of New Orleans is a big toll gate
And all the trains that go through the toll gate...."

I was just listening to the Carl Perkins verion.

Lonnie Donegan and Johnny Cash did it, too.
