I saw Del at Carnegie Hall last year. JazzFest is my favorite New Orleans event. Way better time than Mardi Gras.

Now that’s the way to do new construction.

Nice work Patient.
Now how am I going to get myself back down there?!

Nice photos, Patient. Did you drive? How was it?
In the Quarter, particularly looking up the streetcar tracks/pedestrian island on Canal Street, one gets the impression that one is in a city somewhere in South America.
Was down in NO for a family reunion a few weeks ago. Man, that place is STILL f**’d up. Tent cities under I-10, blocks away from the ‘Dome.
Sadly, though, most of that f***d-upedness was extant prior to Katrina.
But for a taste of the devastation–and the stunted recovery–just take a drive out to Metarie on Audebon Ave.
And would it have killed the Sheraton Corp PR dept. to have sprung for a gallon of paint for the stage?
I would eat a sandwich at Mother’s on Poydras every day if I could. (My cousin, Marty, said “colon cancer for Orleanians is a sign of having lived the good life…”)

The Del McCoury Band is phenomenal..if you like bluegrass. Either way, you will not find better musicians on the planet.
