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



Jon Batiste is a musician Rok just introduced me to. From the first notes he played, I knew he was from Louisiana, with out knowing anything else about him.


Here's his bio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste


This is the tune Rok submitted;

It was one I will eagerly add to my collection. I thought I would share this with other music lovers seeking new artists.

Jon Cleary is another artist I never heard of. Without a doubt I will expand my collection considerably with these "new" New Orleans artists. He was so good I played him twice.





Rok, the procession you posted was solemn and quite respectful as befitted the person to be interred.

It seems to me they knew what the person being interred would want the most; Dr. John,s was both garish, and raucous as he would have wanted it, as he lived. There might have even been several "Second Lines" honoring Dr. John.

Rok, you and I prefer different facets of the the same diamond. Not that we don't like the diamond in it's entirety, we just have different favorites.
