Louisiana was in the news recently for enforcing each classroom post the 10 Commandments – while their schools are dead last – at 50th in education. Again symbolic band-aids instead of looking at the cause and finding a cure. Some people don’t know their vice from sin – and they probably live in Louisiana with that education system! But the culture and the music and the food, it’s a walking city vibe, and maybe most importantly it’s the people who never give up – hell the Saints won a Super Bowl! Everything good and bad is available in the Big Easy. Not sure if that makes the city better or worse. But I love it, mostly for its past, but also the present, and of course, its constant perseverance.

Music; Trombone Shorty, JUVENILE, juu, Louis Armstrong, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Lil’ Queenie & The Percolators, Lucid Dreams, Louis Michot, Hurray For The Riff Raff, _Thesmootcat, Wino Willy and loads more.
