	Alphonse Picou (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Alphonse Picou was born in a prosperous middle class Creole of Color family in downtown New Orleans.
		Picou's style (those who knew him for many years said that his style when he recorded was little changed from how he played early in the 20th century) is lilting with a gentle raggy feel with subtle variations that are usually more melodic embellishments than what would later be called improvisation.
		Alphonse Picou at least once followed fellow musicians up north to Chicago about 1917-1918 (and possibly briefly to New York City in the early 1920s) but said he didn't like it up north and spent the bulk of his career in his home city.
