Sean Ardoin: Kreole Rock & Soul

Larry 'The Mole' Taylor, 1942-2019, began playing rock and roll with Jerry Lee Lewis, went on to co-found Canned Heat, who played Woodstock and still tour. He went on to play in John Mayall's Blues Breakers and then recorded and toured with Tom Waits. 
In 2018, Larry and I decided to set down some autobiographical information via a series of phone conversations. There are many hours, so I've decided to break them into small segments. This is the first.
