me playing the basin street blues on my guitar using a pic / plectrum – and a kazoo, because I always use to forget the lyrics …
[Won’t you come and go with me / Down that Mississippi / We’ll take a boat to the land of dreams / Come along with me on, down to New Orleans]
– a flickr.com video:
[“Basin Street, is the street / Where all them characters from the first street they meet/ New Orleans, land of dreams / You’ll never miss them rice and beans / Way down south in New Orleans]
Louis Armstrong:

hi Wolfgang,
I’ll noticed, that many songs of my guitar repertoire are played by Louis Armstrong:
St. James Infirmary
Basin Street Blues
C’est si bon
Otschi Tschonia (= Lex Yeux Noirs)
Go down Moses
Sunny side of the street
etc.
– so I will soon upload some more jazzy versions as playback / double play: different tracks of rhythm guitar and single note improvisation – I hope you’ll like it …

and Wolfgang,
you’ve discovered a wonderful band of young Spanish musicians – below they are playing SOME OF THESE DAYS – I often played that too in a Dixieland band when I was young – thank you so much for this flashback:
some of these days by: Sant Andreu Jazz Band

hi Vilma, I’m still amused remembering, that once someone shouted in my hometown Wuppertal: “Hey, are YOU frizztext???” – yes I was, back in my hometown after so many years; surprised that someone knew my name there! Thanks to the world wide web technology! Actually, using audio technology, there are two frizztexts on guitar: one playing the rhythm guitar, the other (playback) myself too, this time trying to play a melody like Kai Heumann always did:

I’ve been to Basin Street, and loved the great vibe there. The first time I really noticed this song was in the 1960’s when I bought an LP by the British pop art jazz group, ‘The Peddlers’. I love Louis Armstrong’s version too. What a legend! 🙂

My husband sings and plays this for me. He played it for me before I even knew about Jazz. What a memory of hearing him do it again. A master at what he did.

We’ve been to New orleans and the Jazz clubs aren’t as many as there were years ago. I think they’ll come back eventually. All things come back again. How could Jazz not come back. That was real music with a lot sof feeling. Nice post … love it.
