Quotes need sources

[edit]

The article also needs more material on his life. --Parkwells (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. I have removed the following, which is completely unsourced:-
I have added the {Work in progress} tag for the time being, as I try to introduce a few references, and remove the rest of the adulatory froth.

My work is now finished, at least for the time being. I hope it looks more encyclopedic now, although more material on his life, as mentioned above, would be nice (assuming it is referenced!)

Blog

[edit]

I've removed the unsourced blog, somehow missed before. Rothorpe (talk) 01:12, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Signature song

[edit]

Says here "Mardi Gras in New Orleans" is his signature song, but at Tipitina it says that's his signature song. And provides a source to back it up. Kendall-K1 (talk) 18:24, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Score error

[edit]

Why are there nine quavers in bar 4, and eight elsewhere? 121.44.19.209 (talk) 19:32, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You mean in "Mardi Gras in New Orleans"? I count 10 (five beats), but you're right, it looks fishy. This question has been asked before at File talk:Mardi gras in new orleans.tif but no answer was forthcoming. Kendall-K1 (talk) 22:34, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Fess"

[edit]

The article launches into the nickname "Fess" presumably for 'Professor' but without any explanation or history of that nickname. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.24.221.67 (talk) 10:18, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
