L4LM had the unique privilege of sitting down with the legendary Ivan Neville, for an ongoing series called “Story Time With Uncle Ivan”. Stay tuned for more priceless stories to come!
This time, the Dumpstaphunk multi-instrumentalist decided to tell stories about the late pianist James Booker, who would parade about New Orleans in a cop uniform. Booker not only tricked Dumpstaphunk bassist Nick Daniels III with the costume, but he got into some serious trouble for impersonating a police officer back in the late 70’s!
We’ll let Uncle Ivan tell the story. Check out part one of this exciting series below:
Stay tuned for part two! And don’t miss Ivan Neville along with the whole Dumpstaphunk crew for the upcoming Phunksgiving jam at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets and more information are available here.
