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

A few years back I went to the Louisiana Hot Sauce festival and one of the non-hot sauce vendors was selling a Louisiana Music Map poster.  The map shows 1600 Louisiana musicians with their name located on their birthplace. It's very cool. I picked a couple (one as gift).

It's all genres, not just jazz, but quite complete and well researched. There is also a Facebook page that has little nuggets about each of the musicians. Just search for "Louisiana Music Map" in the Facebook app, or if you must use a browser, here is the browser version.

I bought that album in 1960 and never quit playing it; it's even on my play-list right now.


When I was about 4 or 5, pre-school, there was an alley behind the house where we lived, and a man came down that alley pulling a cart on big wagon wheels that creaked along as he went. I can picture that man pulling his cart every time I hear that song; plus the love of my life had just gotten married to someone else, that also caused me to play it a lot.


Flo me la is another one I like;

Treebeard, that music map was quite interesting; why don't you share with us some of your favorite music on the map?

I'd rather spend a year in NO than a day in Vegas.  Vive la difference.

I think you have that the other way around.
