Jim,

Rusty's right, it was Lawrence Walker first. Didn't know about the Jolie Can't dance name though.

Story I heard was he named it after Johnny Alan who was playing guitar for him as a teenager. Since he was on the bandstand all night, he couldn't dance and voila, there you have it.

For the off-color footnote to the story, email me off forum....

It's such a great song. Unfortunately, if I claim that this song is a traditional song on my website, someone will think ill.

I honestly don't care at this point. I'm a little drunk.

Tomorrow will be fun in the morning, I think. Music in the woods at Oregon Ridge! I'm looking forward.

Taking the D Acadian and the G Hohner. Gonna be one hell of a good time

The First person that I know of playing it was, Clifton Chenier.. if there was anyone before him I dont know
