Notes by Irvin Mayfield:
For every dollar that exists, there is a New Orleans musician who is tired of playing this song.
What can be a cliché can also pose a creative challenge for a producer. Producer Irvin Mayfield
was at first apprehensive about its inclusion of this song at the risk of being corny, but
reconsidered the necessity at the urging of singer/trumpeter Kermit Ruffins. The jury is still out
on their decision.
