Those were some great days. I wish I had gone to as many shows in New Orleans as I could have when I lived there from 85 to 91. I did see some good ones, however. Allman Brothers and Emmy Lou Harris in a bar that held about 100 was a good one...and I went to the bar right after I got off the riverboat listening to Dr. John and a 16 piece band. For $5. Allmans...no cover.
Lucian, my editor used to send me to NOLA all the time. Vicarious kicks for him. Yesterday I came across a story I’d forgotten I had written: chasing down the old piano players, like Huey Smith and James Booker, to club dates for which they never showed up (too drunk, too not drunk), having gone into the Jehovah’s Witness protection program.
