Alphonse Picou High Society

http://www.20sjazz.com/videos/alphonse-picou/high-society-.html

> Alphonse Picou was born
into a middleclass Creole
family in New Orleans on
today's date in 1878.

As a clarinetist who played
a wide variety of music with
groups ranging from classical
orchestras to dance bands he
would become a celebrated
figure who was key to early
jazz development.

¹ it is apparently illegal to busk in parks. Playing music is fine, unamplified, but cases must be closed. Now if a stranger OPENS it a bit and slyly pops in some cash…

sure my corpse is blue and smelly, and my kid's an orphan, but don't feel bad for us: I just died and went to heaven when I found
