I have heard a piece of new orleans piano music but I lost track and I do not know the name of it. All I know is that it was played on Piano and I believe the artist who played it was either Dr. John (Malcom Rebennack), or some piano player from New Orleans. I tried to represent it as best I can, using a guitar and used a sound recorder application on an android mobile device. I hope it is clear and recognizable enough for maybe somebody to tell me the piece's name, and who was known to play it.


and in case link does not work, I try to include mp3 audio file.
Nope. Not seem to be in the directory.
Not showing up through "Attach Files" button although I see it in "Downloads" folder. Excuse me.
I hope the mp3 link will work.

I thought this was it:

I found the name. YouTube search partially focused on Dr. John, and a discussion & demonstration video called "The Piano Styles of Dr. John - Two Video Set - by Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack". The name of the song is called "I Love That". Less than two minute length, starts at 1:07 on the timeline.

I do not believe I found that specific piece anywhere else (on YouTube).

But that is very likely WRONG. So I still do not really know the name of the piece. Likely Mac was just giving a comment about something else under discussion before the particular clip of the video section was placed; so "I love that" is irrelevant to what he played in that specified video section.

 
The tune is vaguely familiar, and more so the more I listen to your good playing, but I cannot place it, either. Listened to all my Dr. John CDs, and not quite his style, I thought, too. Though he could have played it well, surely. Sounds more like something out of some old folk tune, Mexican or Hispanic, maybe?

Try Shazam.com. https://www.shazam.com/ It may be able to identify it.
 
@difalcojr,
I did find Dr. John's representation as I said in post #2, so readers, better to refer to that instead of my somewhat poor playing of it given in post #1. Not sure yet if "shazam" will work or how it works.

Possibly this forum is not well suited for my question. I took a chance.
