Despite the heat, New Orleans gave Dr. John the goodbye he deserved

In the heart of Treme, with the temperature feeling close to 100 degrees, the trumpets played, the people danced and thousands marched in the streets -- honoring the life of New Orleans musician and icon Dr. John.

We are coming home in July to New Orleans..after the passing of my dear mom in NY: our caregiving done for the elder beloveds..we want to celebrate the vitality and life that is NOLA. Like no other place on Earth. There is no 'death', as we think of it. Dr. John may be gone physically - but he will continue to bless us with his superb musician-ship, his enormous personal style, his unique jargon, his love and dedication to all things NOLA. You been in the right place... my bro'.....

Don't be too sad. Dr John the persona owned by the record companies is dead.
But the actor who played John and his other personalities still lives.
It's 2019 and I think you should know the truth.
