Thank you Anch and Scott for covering my show the last two weeks while I journeyed the length and depth of Florida visiting relatives. My trip started with a couple of nights in New Orleans, including the last day of Jazz Fest. Here’s some pictures from that day. Don’t forget to tune me in this Thursday (May 24) to hear these folks.
Rode our bikes to the festival grounds and saw this control box painted to honor Deacon John MooreOriginal member of the famous Fairview Baptist Church Marching Band, Leroy Jones and his group entertained in the Economy Hall Tent.Keeping the tradition alive, the Young Pinstripe Brass Band at the Jazz and Heritage StageNice to see the truck, sad to remember that Mr. Okra died this year.George Porter (on bass and tie dye) and his Runnin’ Pardners held down the Gentilly Stage.Great opportunity to see the famed Zion Harmonizers in the Gospel Tent
Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue rocked the Acura Stage to close out the festival.
