| The recent commercial for Degree for Women deodorant uses Professor Longhair's "Big Chief" for its music. I don't know whether to be happy that Fess' music is reaching a larger audience after all these years, or to be sad that his music is being used to hawk deodorant to a demographic who thinks that Professor Longhair must be some wise old hippie. Just sharing. | |

| Dr John has been doing a pretty good job at spreading PL's music over the years, but it's still shocking how few people know about that great New Orleans piano tradition, including a lot of jazz musicians. Most people here in the UK thing New Orleans music is some kind of honky old-time trad jazz stuff. | |
