"SOUTHERN NIGHTS" - ALLEN TOUISSAINT



Tonight I watched Allen Toussaint in a wonderful hour-long performance on PBS. He sang and played his own composition, "Southern Nights" and - lo! - I found a YouTube video of the song.

Touissaint spoke quotable words: "I'm so glad that I grew up as a plant in New Orleans." And to those lovely words, I say, "Me too, Allen". Toussaint added that in New Orleans there was music all around, and that's the truth.

Enjoy!

    We're up too late and we've had too much wine, but that was ever so lovely. Thank you for sharing.

    annski, I'm pleased that you enjoyed the video. Too much wine and late-night listening can make the music all the more enjoyable.
