Gulf Coast Music Special
Hosted by
David Weinstein
Originally aired on
Monday, September 12th, 2005
David Weinstein and guest Tim Spelios spin a survey of Gulf Coast music assembled the week after 2005's Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. The whole horrorshow got everybody thinking about their affection for the place and its important cultural contribution. There is a compelling and very readable history of the music available at a myriad of sites online. Read about the Mardi Gras Mambo, James Carter and the prisoners, and the tragedy of Amédé Ardoin which is remembered in disputed versions. Tracks selected for this show include artists like Amédé Ardoin, Napolian Strickland, Dixie Cups, Dennis McGee, Professor Longhair, Louis Armstrong Hot Five, and many many more!
