My son Will turned me on to Lee Dorsey last week, can’t believe I never heard of him. Born in New Orleans in 1924, was buddies with Fats Domino, many of his songs produced by Alan Toussaint, backed by The Meters.

About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
"Ya Ya" or "Working in the Coal Mine" rang no bells for you? Or "Ride Your Pony" (although the logic of its gun shot sounds is still lost on me)? I think I've read that you worked in insurance in the early '60s, but, sorry, that's no excuse. I've also heard that Lee Dorsey (as Kid Chocolate) was a pretty good boxer.
Now shoot (pow!)
Shoot (pow!)
…I dunno, cowboys?
Also love "Get Out of My Life, Woman", also much covered (Iron Butterfly, anyone?)
