Description
Lemon Nash, born April 22, 1898, came up in the Storyville district of New Orleans, picked up ukulele around 1915 during the Hawaiian music craze, hit the road with a medicine show in the early 1920s hawking Royaline Blood Tonic for an Indian Chief and a legless cowboy, and traveled with various circuses: Downie Brothers, John Robinson, Sells-Floto.
With the exception of two stints on the railroad, an eight-year stretch with the merchant marine, and some time spent working out of Nashville with a nine piece band, Papa Lemon spent the better part of fifty years playing blues, jazz, ballads, popular tunes or whatever else it took to earn a tip the streets and barrooms of New Orleans.
These recordings were made on a number of occasions between 1959-1961 by folklorist Dr. Harry Oster of LSU and Richard B. Allen of the Hogan Jazz Archive at Tulane.
18 songs and 9 talking tracks.
With biographical notes by Adam Machado.
