Groove Me

Getting a jump on Mardi Gras, it’s Etta James, Dr. John, and the ever-dapper Allen Toussaint on “Groove Me.” All passed now, alas. I was surprised to see Dr. John on guitar. The legend has it that he started as a guitar player, but had to switch to piano after some of his fingers were sliced up in a knife fight. I guess he healed. The guitar is a Les Paul Deluxe with minihums. (Whatever those are.)
