"Play something sweet...play something mellow..."

Son: "Dad - who was Allen Toussaint?" 

Me: "I guess you could think of him as a bit like Santa Claus for musicians...just send him a list of hit songs you would like...and then wait for them to arrive"

Son: "Did you see him perform?"

Me: "Sure!"

Son: "Did you have a favourite song of Allen's?"

Me: "Hmmm...I guess so...probably this one..."
