He said that Hugh Laurie was classically trained on the piano. Actually Hugh is self-taught. Just wanted to clarify and give him personal credit for his incredible talent.
Good interview. I'm so glad your station thinks enough of Allen to keep him in front of such a wide listening audience. The station host is always prepared for the conversation. And especially thanks for archiving these segments so they can be heard later if missed and saved.
Nice interview with the great Allen Toussaint. Don't forget Lowell George's great version of the Toussaint song WHAT DO YOU WANT THE GIRL TO DO. thanx
