Last week Dr John died.
In his early years known as The Night Tripper, he never troubled the UK charts much. (At all? Well a no. 54 with Right Place, Wrong Time).
I featured Marsha Hunt’s version of Walk on Gilded Splinters – a song from Dr John’s first album Gris Gris – in Friday on my Mind 11.
Hunt’s single was weird enough but Dr John’s original – as I Walk on Guilded Splinters – is even eerier.
Here’s Dr John playing Such a Night live.

Malcolm John Rebennack (Dr John:) 20/11/1941 – 6/6/2019. So it goes.
