Baroness Pontalba du NOLA's Caniche Rouge
In keeping with the theme for the girls (all the NOLA girls have names who honor famous sometimes notorious New Orleans Ladies)
Let me introduce....Hello Dolly du NOLA’s Caniche Rouge
Throughout history, there have always been those who marched – or maybe even Second Lined, to their own beat.
In New Orleans in 1904, Dolly Marie Douroux was born into a talented Creole Family of Color. Though the only acceptable instruments for girls to play in public were piano and violin, Dolly, beginning at the young age of 7, was known to play bass, drums, trumpet and guitar, and she played with many of the finest musicians of pre-1920s jazz, including Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory, Joe “King” Oliver, Kid Howard, and Alec Bigard.
Somehow, in times when it was unusual for a young woman to go out and play, or to even hear music, Dolly was playing piano on Basin Street at Lulu White’s famous Mahogany Hall in Story Ville!
Hello, Dolly!
Dolly’s was a musical family, so it was no surprise that after years of playing with her mother, father and uncle, she, with her 3 talented sons, formed the Dolly Adams Band. Changing styles with the times, Dolly continued to play until she was in her 70s, claiming she was holding out for her grandchildren to join her band!
Dolly Douroux is credited with changing the face of music, in the Birthplace of Jazz.
