2. New Orleanians have tended to gravitate toward the French Quarter Festival in recent years
Jazz Fest has become, well, kind of touristy. Alas, the FQF was held earlier in April. :(

5. Well, many do, of course
but many others are starting to balk not only at the fifty bucks (in my day, around 1990, it was 12) but at the preponderance of out-of-town acts. It is our ("our" even though I left in the early '90s) firm belief that NO and La. can easily produce enough quality acts to fill even a large, multi-day festival.

16. Going to NOLA for a few days mid May.
First time I've been back since my U. of Alabama days in the early 60s.
Only 3 hours from us.
Plan to see the WW II museum among other things.
