Rok, you hit the nail dead on the head about Nica.
I am so glad I started this thread; not long ago I would not have appreciated those clips you presented in regard to history, but now, I will delve as deep as I can into each little tid-bit.
Thanks!
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.

Nikonnola, what impresses me the most about New Orleans is the love people from there have for their city; they even cling to the broke down neighborhoods. Another thing that's impressive is how many successful people, and musicians who live there; musicians especially, move to New York or LA when they got the cash. Now, I'm getting into the unique culture and history of New Orleans as much as I am the music, and I appreciate your informative posts. |
Acresverde, here's Mr. James Booker; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3DyLGqdhaI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcLhiOIO54k |
Thank you Orpheus10. Acresverde, the story that I have heard from my friend who is Harry Connick, Sr's God-child, is that HCsr made a deal with James Booker to teach him how to play the piano in exchange for a forgiveness on a drug charge. James Booker live at Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall is an awesome live album of JB |
