Tipitina was a song Professor Longhair wrote about a little woman named Tina who walked on her tip toes all the time & used to pass by the record store on Rampart Street where Fess and Mac Rabanac(Dr John) worked. Everyone called her Tipping Tina is the explanation Dr John came up with in his book "Under a Hoo Doo Moon".

Why isn't the Douglas/Thomas correction on the Podcast?? C'mon guys!

Joseph from Anchorage--Thanks for the correction. It was a freaky mistake that I can't explain, since we know Irma Thomas' work well. We caught it after a couple of stations (like yours) had aired our show, and sent a corrected version of the show to most of our stations. This kind of thing is always embarrassing, and never more so than when the victim of the mistake is a living legend.

Wonderful piece on Professor Longhair and Tipitina. Thanks. BTW, it is Irma Thomas-- hope you correct your mistake next week. She is a legend in New Orleans and deserves respect.

Thank you so much for this story. I have loved this song for a very long time, but never knew anything about Professor Longhair--Fess--until I read the liner notes in "Let Them Talk," Hugh Laurie's new blues CD. I can vouch for one thing: "Tipitina," especially as rendered by Laurie, is addictive. I can never play it just once, and it seems to always lead me to wonder who & what the song is really about. The answer, I guess, is that it's about whatever we want it to be. For years, Louis Armstrong represented all I knew about New Orleans blues, but his music was eclipsed by Ray Charles in the early 1950's and beyond, and the postwar radio airwaves were saturated with either R&B or jazz, then called "race music" in Southwestern Pennsylvania, where I grew up. Delta Blues just wasn't in our musical diet back then, but once I started listening to it, mostly by playing old Fats Waller and Jelly Roll Morton 78's owned by family members, I realized how much it touched and invigorated me -- all at the same time. Hugh Laurie's obvious worship of Fess and Delta blues comes thru so lovingly and compellingly in "Let Them Talk." It's my guess that "Fess" would be honored and proud--and more than a bit startled-- to learn that he and his music have survived into the 21st Century and so many thousands of new listeners have "discovered" him and the musical magic that were a staple of the musical scene more than half a century ago. Although I'm sure New Orleans Blues was never out of style for those who were raised and steeped in it, it now has been revitalized and introduced to thousands all around the world, and they're obviously loving it. For me, it's the most exciting, passionate, soulful sound I've heard since that day in the early 1950's when Ray Charles first split the air with , "I've Got A Woman." Thanks again for showcasing this music and the artists who have brought the joy of Delta Blues back to life.
