@SeanCollinsSTL Brilliant. Happy to know about Bach. He's at the headwaters. But then, so is Claude Jeter, who I think later appeared on the Rhymin' Simon album, right?

Happy Birthday to legendary New Orleans pianist and composer, Louis Moreau Gottschalk! Born May 8, 1829, Gottschalk was one of the most famous 19th century American composers - drawing on elements of French, Creole, African, Caribbean, and Southern culture.
Any classical music fans out there?
Louis Morreau Gottschalk's "Bamboula" is going head-to-head with Lonnie Johnson's "Tomorrow Night" in round one of our bracket to determine New Orleans's top song. Which one will advance? It's up to you!

If a jazz musician has appeared on more than 20 albums, the NEA's named him a master, his face is on a stamp, an educational center bears his name and a generation of artists calls him a vital influence ... most people know he’s Ellis Marsalis, Jr. Listen: https://t.co/XtQJ1yaMGU
