thirdtry Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 OK, there's probably only a very few people here who might be interested in this oddity but I wanted to let people know about it. Lemon Nash was a ukelele player from the Storyville district of New Orleans whose career spanned from the earliest days of Jazz up through the 1960s. A fixture for decades in the French Quarter, Lemon Nash also traveled with circuses and medicine shows around the country, hawking blood tonic and performing from his vast repertoire on the uke. With biographical notes by Adam Machado. Coming soon on LP! 1. Bourbon Street Parade 2. Papa Lemon's Blues 3. Serenading with Frank Wagner 4. Grave Digger's Blues 5. Trouble With the Man 6. What Was a Medicine Show Like? 7. Bowleg Rooster, Duckleg Hen / Sweet Georgia Brown 8. $25 a Night 9. Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out 10. Anybody Seen My Kitty? 11. Please Give Me Black and Brown 12. Barrelhouse 13. Let the Good Times Roll 14. What a Friend We Have in Jesus 15. Way in the Hee Hi Hoo 16. We Played Anywhere 17. I'm Blue Every Monday 18. Stagolee 19. The Battlefield 20. Rabbit Brown 21. If You Could Fight Like You Can Love 22. Those Drafting Blues 23. Spano's and Fox 24. Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen 25. Big Rock Candy Mountain 26. The Jiggler Vein and the Raincoat 27. Brownskin, Come and Go With Me Lemon Nash is not very well represented on CD with only about a dozen tracks spread out on several 504 Record discs. He's a very charming player that is a throwback to a much earlier time.
