- Little Queenie (Leigh Harris) love song to a city, My Dawlin' New Orleans, spoken-word introduction performed by Harris, written by poet, Ron Cuccia. Video recorded at my daughters' house on Leonidas St, New Orleans LA
This may be my favorite version of this tune. I live in Boston now, but you can take the girl out of NOLA, but you'll never get the N'awlins out of the girl. This song has so many of the things I remember from growing up in the 60s and 70s. Thank you and Leigh for making and sharing this.
R.I.P. Lil Queenie. September 21, 219.
What an incredible version of this song.
Little Queenie's "my dawlin' New Orleans" takes me home to the FQ.
Queenie will live in the Quarter and in our hearts forever.
let me clarify--
this version of "my dawlin new orleans" was recorded 6 weeks after hurricane katrina by me and a group of new orleans musicians at dockside studios in lafayette louisiana for a compilation CD. it doesn't contain the final vocal or mix; you can hear that on the facebook little queenie fan page.
i sang on 2 other recordings of this song: one w/ the percolators, and one w/ the jazz poetry group, on which poet ron cuccia performs the spoken word portion.
thanks,
LQ
What is the compilation CD? And is there someplace I can get it?
Rest in the absolute energy of love sweet friend.
I love this song. Heard it on WWOZ, and fell in love with it. I miss my city
RIP, Little Queenie
First heard this tune on the excellent HBO series Treme -- those guys have **taste** in music! Not that I wasn't already in love with N'awlins music of many types, being a jazz fan, but Treme just certified it for me. And L'il Queenie locked it. GO, girl! Seriously: anyone who loves Queenie & The Percolators should watch that show.
Her stuff is really good! She's about to 'transition' soon and her music is magical healing
Sad day Sept. 21st, losing Leigh 'L'il Queenie' Harris to cancer. Damn cancer to hell!
~Rest her soul & spirit.
Does this exist in CD or MP3 form somewhere? This is better than the standard version without the intro.
@liqueena Love ya LQ! You were no small part of my 70s-80s live soundtrack. Beautiful piece of songwork. Heard RC do a memorable reading of his poetry at Until Waiting Fills coffee house in the quarter early 80s. If ever you were to take to the road on a NE swing may I suggest The Sellersville Theater (Sellersville, PA, 2.5 hrs from NYC)? I have a stone art studio across the street, Artisan Stoneworks. I'd have to insist on cooking dinner for you. Gratitude Dusty Ben Purscell (versions on cd?)
when was this recorded?
Can someone pleaaaase tell me the lyrics?? I can't figure some of them out and I love this tune! Thanks!
Hey Queenie, the ceiling fan thing in this video is a copy of Allen Parker, director.
I've got the conker root too!
@dustymsn you rock, dusty. the final mix isn't out for commercial download right now, but i'd love to send you an MP3. please let me know where. thanks!
joan! i'm just now seeing this! how are you? where are you? love you always xoxoxox
Hey Queenie, good luck to you, but the intro still sounds like Ron Cuccia, and the Jazz Poetry Group, including Ramsey Mclean -the most important song writer New Orleans didn't give credit to. Joan Staats
