First crawfish boil of the year.

Hosted by Zack. If this is any indication, this is going to be a great year. Not only were the crawfish tasty, Zack uncovered an LP of Robert Palmer’s Some People Can Do What They Like. Been a while since I heard that one with just the right amount of pops and clicks. Carl and Matt were in town and got to enjoy a little of the Louisiana hospitality.

Took advantage of having friends in town to remind myself of life in New Orleans. Hung out at the Old Point bar and listened to Jack Fine and the Algiers Stompers before taking the ferry back across the river for some dinner in the French Quarter and catching Alex McMurray at the Circle Bar.

Also managed to sneek in Kermit Ruffins, Joe Krown’s Organ Combo, the Fessters, the New Orleans Jazz Vipers and scores of other shows, sets, and street musicians.
This truly is a unique and blessed city.
