Backatown

One more with Paul and Linda, boarding a riverboat while being serenaded by the Tuxedo Jazz Band. 1975. 

Speaking of, here’s Paul McCartney and Ernie K-Doe, live at the Warehouse. Surely someone recorded this?

Ernie K. Doe. Here Come the Girls. 1970. Produced by Allen Toussaint, obvi.

Merry Christmas from WWL-TV’s ~1974 production staff.

Tom Dempsey, 63-yard, game-winning field goal vs. the Lions, November, 1970. The actual kick is about halfway through the video.

Dempsey’s record has been tied several times in the last few years, including yesterday by David Akers, but it hasn’t been bested. Amazing, given the league-wide improvement in kickers, that this record still stands.

‘Fess, backed by The Meters: “Tipitina”. Live in 1975, on the Queen Mary of all places, as a guest of Paul McCartney.

The very first space shuttle external fuel tank, used in tests, rolls off the line. September 9, 1977. Via NASA.

Allen Toussaint - Sweet Touch of Love

Posted by The World Keeps Going Round, this is another excellent track off of Toussaint’s From a Whisper to a Scream. I would be surprised if you didn’t like these songs, surprised and concerned.

Such a good tune. This was the cake-cutting song at our wedding, 2 years ago today. (an idea that you should totally steal)

Irma Thomas, Jazzfest, 1975.
