1. YEAH BROTHER!

Thanks for the link. And I can honestly say that I've played New Orleans. Once I was checking out a street band down there and they asked me to stand in on washboard so I did. A great time was had by all. It was in 1987. Tab Benoit was just starting, Dr. John was still relevant (still is), The Neal family was starting to establish their Blues pedigree, The Allman Bros. Band headlined the Jazz and Heritage Festival. But the real fun was out on the streets with the locals. And it always will be.

3. Great Pics!

No, I am not in any of those pics. Sigh. Wish I had half the talent the Neal Family, Tab Benoit, Aaron Neville, or any other New Orleans musician has.

4. Jazz Fest is one of the coolest things in the world

Been a few times, and loved it. Everything from dixieland to cowpunk.
