"A childhood friend of mine named Jeffrey Shannon."
Actually, I believe it was New Orleans drummer Herman V. Ernest. Allen Toussaint arranged the song and hired local musicians to record it. Jeffrey Shannon is credited with percussion on that disc. Herman was the drummer for Dr. John for years and was a friend of mine. He passed away today. (3-6-12)
