diretonic there's a rather sweet recording by Fats Waller on organ with Alberta Hunter singing the last refrain.
Found it! This remastered version sounds gorgeous.
diretonic For sure, Dr John has a vast library of licks and so many ways of playing any one of them, and in any order, so he always maintains an element of surprise.
Yes, having a big library to choose from would give a freer feeling. I feel like stealing a couple of licks and using them has the danger of sounding very canned. But I've got to start somewhere!
diretonic Frankie and Johnny is an underlying 8's feel which I guess Beale street could adapt to very well. Hmm....
Yes, I think it will fit nicely! At least for the blues portion. I may do something simpler for the rest.
