<p>Paul,</p>
<p>I'm not entirely certain what an "MJ" comment, even a darkly semi-funny one, has to do with a Dr, John discussion. The Doctor was a musician's musican, Michael was a flawed popstar.</p>

<p>A few years ago, I saw Dr. John at a small venue in Kent, OH. Great show- he played piano and guitar. After the show, there were three of us waiting for him and when he came out he took pictures with us. I asked if he could sign one album and he replied, "I can't, I have arthritis." I thought, "You just played the guitar and piano for two hours, but you can't sign your name because you have arthritis?" I said ok, and was happy to get the picture.…</p>

<p>Two years ago, music producer and Cleveland native Tommy Lipuma held a concert for his 80th birthday. The show featured Al Jarreau, Diana Krall, Leon Russell and Dr. John. Each performer sang a few songs and of course I waited after the show to get them to sign. Leon came out on his scooter and signed items from his bus. Al Jarreau was great, he signed and took pictures. Diana gave a quick scribble- it was literally a scribble. Dr. John did sign one each and took pictures too. After he signed my album, he said in that gravely, cajun voice, "Dare you go!"</p>
