which was in fact the wet Jazzfest and not 2009 as I mentioned in another thread.

Second Line, Iko Iko, Hey Pocky Way (Jazzfest 2011) - everyone should go to Jazzfest atleast once in their lives !

Hi Kush,

Enjoyed the links, especially the first and last one. Sang along to the second one.
Thanks.

Hi Steven,

the first and last songs are kinda dark and the second one is the light that gets through the crack and shines on the truth sometimes. And the truth in New Orleans as Ms. Thomas puts it so eloquently is for folks to celebrate celebrate anything and everything. "Frogs, roaches, mosquitoes, alligators, red beans and rice, oysters, tomatoes, divorce, separation and when your pregnancy test comes back negative." (I might have missed out a couple)
