People are always bugging him to play but he's only interested in playing gospel (which he did at last year's P-Stomp). He didn't have a business card on him unfortunately. New Orleans musicians usually have second jobs, I remember for years there was a radio ad that ran in N.O.-- "Come see Lee Dorsey-- the best body man in the 9th Ward" for Dorsey's auto body shop. Lee Dorsey was Antoinette K-Doe's uncle btw.The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-7586198309094113532009-03-05T12:10:00.000-05:002009-03-05T12:10:00.000-05:00Say, how did it come up that the locksmith was Sug...Say, how did it come up that the locksmith was Sugar Boy Crawford?
