Mardi Gras.bb (D)

All can be traced back to the time when clubs were still clubs, pants were still made of satin and hairstyles were still super-colossal. At that time, the Doc was a young, up-and-coming physician with an inclination for song and quite an expert in the field of skin and venereal diseases (sic!). Today it is not possible anymore to find out if he had had an inkling of what was to come when destiny sent, of all people and for a specific reason, Reverend Krug who previously had been a bassist of the famous Krautrock band Guru-Guru as well as a sousaphone strategist, and when exactly the inclination toward song became dominant.
It is: probably the crazyest woodoo-blues, rhythm'n'jazz big band of the world was born!
