A cornerstone figure in early New Orleans jazz, Collins tells the story of his life in \u003ci\u003eOh, Didn't He Ramble\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e He starts with his loose, happy youth in New Orleans, where he played in marching bands, funeral processions, and cutting contests on the street. A life of teen gangs and jealous girlfriends gave way to the drinking and carousing of the New Orleans scene--and the music he helped make world famous.
