Two years after the greatest natural disaster in the Southern States, the city of New Orleans struggles to keep going, against all odds, when most people thought the music would die.
From those of us who've been there... cheers to it's people, and their infectious joy for life, respect for the dead...until we cross paths gain.
I couldn't pretend to say it better than the best of them all, today's quote comes from Mark Twain, on a city, an event and a way of life that marches to it's own drum:
"It has been said that a Scotchman has not seen the world until he has seen Edinburgh; and I think that I may say that an American has not seen the United States until he has seen New Orleans."-- Mark Twain, Letter to Pamela Moffett, March 1859
