In 2004, New Orleans music legends Cosimo Matassa, Earl Palmer, Dr John, and Deacon John appeared at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland. I was lucky enough to be there, and was able to report on the events for satchmo.com. For anyone interested in the story of Cosimo Matassa's heyday at J&M Studios, and New Orleans music of that era, you should check out this article.
I've been listening to Cosimo's music since I was a kid, even before I knew I was listening to his music.
