Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.

Tooblue, I forgot that I have that album "The Bright Mississippi"; it most certainly personifies Nawlins music.

(I had a friend from New Orleans who told me the proper pronunciation was "Nawlins")

Here is the man who introduced me to Nawlins music;

Thanks for the musical info; I'll keep you informed as I check the rest of it.

Jon Batiste is really good and that is a good album. All the artist that have been mentioned that are from New Orleans,  not Nawlins Please, are or were excellent musicians and song writers. I'm surprised no one mentioned James Booker. He is up there with all the ones mentioned. But as someone who actually lives and works in New Orleans, it's like nails on a chalkboard when someone from Ohio or wherever says N'awlins.

If I were a big time nawlins musician, and I felt my time was near, I would leave town.

Cheers

Today's Listen:

Wynton and the band are perfect as usual.   Lord, they can play!   Some of the tunes get perilously close to dixieland.

Cheers

If Dr. John says "N'awlins",   Nawlins it is.

The guy that told me "Nawlins" was born, raised and probably died in "New Orleans".  (proper for his obituary)
