The year the song hit and was covered by a bazillion other
artists, Sidney showed up at the New Orleans jazzfest in a
Cadillac with a plate on the front that read, "My Toot Toot."
To see what he's up to lately, I just did a search and found
out he died February 25, the day after Mardi Gras.

The Spurs, a Western swing band, are playing at The Midway

I often
wondered about this as a DJ, when frustrated by the lack of songwriting
credits, and so I'll ask now: Why isn't this required?
And does it have any bearing on royalties for airplay? I
thought it did, assuming a record got enough spins for BMI
or ASCAP to
heard on the
radio. Furthermore, they don't drink much, which has led to
the scene being half the size it was 5 years ago (clubowners
are going to put up with that low profit margin for only so
long). A steel player I work with occasionally calls them
"dance nazis."

provide a SS#

got audited and the IRS did not accept even his cancelled
checks that other band members got paid for a particular
gig. Since hearing this, we've "spread the pain around" - just
in case . . . )

the rest of us) again. That sucker will suffocate from
