Remembering Dr. John on Mardi Gras Day
Our theme on this edition of Stranger Songs is Remembering Dr. John on Mardi Gras Day.
Mac Rebennack – whose stage name was Dr. John, and who died in 2019 at age 77 – was a New Orleans musical legend who drew on traditional jazz, blues, folk music, rock ‘n’ roll and even classical motifs, all with a distinctly New Orleans influence, in his music. Dr. John performed a lot of Mardi Gras music over the years, so it seems appropriate that we honor his legacy on Mardi Gras Day.
