  • Another 2 months in New Orleans

    Just got back from another two months of shooting in New Orleans.  I was lucky enough to catch the Jazz Fest which was two weeks of wonderful music with top liners like Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder and Santana.  Actually the most interesting are the local Jazz and Zydeco music.  It feels like a combination of blues and country music with a French accent.

    May is also crawfish season.  I went to a couple of Crawfish boils, which were crawfish parties where spiced crawfish were boiled in 10 gallon caldrons.  When it's done, all the crawfish were dumped onto tables covered with newspaper and everyone just dig in with both hands.  Crawfish looks like little lobsters and the aficionados claim they taste better than lobsters.  The best part was sucking out the heads.  Well, eating crawfish, drinking cold beer and listening to Cajun music was one of my best Louisiana experiences.

    I saw Billy Joel in concert once back in the 1990's ("Storm Front" Tour)...he's a really great entertainer!  I'd love to see Santana and Stevie Wonder....truly, you listened to some great music!

    I saw how they do the crawfish feeds on two shows:  Dirty Jobs (Discovery Channel w/Mike Rowe) and some show from the Travel Channel (maybe with Anthony Bourdain?).  Looks like good food, but I'm not much for eating foods like this....give me crab or salmon!  

    It's nice to hear from you again, Henry!  =)
