2nd nikonnola, it's New Orleans, never 'Nawlins. That's worse than New Orleeens.
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.

Many of the people displaced by the Katrina "Aftermath" never returned to NOLA. A hurricane is one thing, but this disaster occurred "after" the hurricane. That was mentioned by some of the current residents. That fact will never let me rest, I was a medic and served in the unit at Scott that trained to respond to any kind of a disaster. We had anything and everything; hospital, Doctors, nurses, medics, plus C-5A's, but my unit was never called. Sorry to bring it up. |
The most musical television I've ever experienced, I learned about so many new artists during its run! HBO's Treme! https://youtu.be/txJiJ65rhYI |
I own very few soundtracks, not my thing. Except for THIS one! Just a great record, from start to finish. Not to mention an outstanding primer on music from the Big Easy! https://youtu.be/Gg3EhSQbNJg |

That fact will never let me rest,***** Rest easy. There is nothing you could have done. Hopefully they have learned their lesson, but I doubt it. They were always doomed, just a matter or when and what hurricane showed up. The time for action is BEFORE the hurricane arrives. All levels of government in Louisiana failed their citizens. The people don't expect much from their elected officials, and they are seldom disappointed. Of course the people themselves are not exactly blameless. Anything at Scott AFB was also in Louisiana.
