Second Weekend of Jazz Fest

Whew!  All set-up and ready to roll on the opening day of Jazz Fest.  We are now blessed with perfect weather and good vibes all around.  Why would anyone in New Orleans not want to be here?

Cheers.

Fun-filled Pre-Jazz Fest Rituals

So, there's not enough on my plate these days, just two from the opening of Jazz Fest so guess what I spend most of my time doing?   Going to music in-stores at the Louisiana Music Factory.  I got to escort the musicians to the "Green Room" upstairs again.  Always cool to meet Dirty Dozen even if they don't know who I am.  That's ok.  They really are the best brass band out there.  Sorry Rebirth, I know you got the Grammy this year and all that but truth is truth.  At least I did my "homework" before I went down to the French Quarter.  I made myself finish painting the shutters for my booth decoration so I wouldn't have that hanging over my head.
