 Many nights at Tip's December 23, 2003
No air-conditioning then, and after awhile you didn't even care anymore. With the Professor banging out the musical equal of both sugar and whiskey, life at that moment was pretty damn good there at Napoleon and Tchoupitoulas Street.
Yeah, yeah, you had to be there, but since you probably weren't, here's something for you so you can see what all the fuss is about. A little lagniappe for you at the end, too, with the Professor kickin' it way big with some friends.
Meet you tomorrow at the Camelia for breakfast, cher. . .
 "Tipitina" Version Not as Good as Rock 'n Roll Gumbo Version December 20, 2007
Opie Taylor (USA)
Now I don't claim to be an expert in "Fess" music but I am from New Orleans and have had Rock n Roll Gumbo for many years and love the version of "Tipitina" that is on that record. The Anthology is a great great record with 2 versions of "tipitina" but in my humble opinion, neither version measures up the version on "Rock n Roll Gumbo". This is probably a 5 star record that I had to give 4 stars to simply because of this one song.
The Source: funky N'orleans piano April 6, 2008
Joe Beets
Dr. John, Allen Toussaint and others cite 'Fess as the original funky piano player. Some say he invented funky music. Pedigree notwithstanding, this collection will satisfy the New Orleans music collector or anyone who is moved by pounding, funky piano. The combinations of keyboard riffs and vocal leaps will leave you scratching your head sometimes (why there? or at all) but he makes it all work like there was no other way to play it. An absolute original, he continues to inspire. These tracks are very hard to find elsewhere.
