We WORLD PREMIEREd brand new original acoustic live ditties and brand new freshly recorded album tracks. We reprised the WORLD PREMIERE of Musicians, Mentors, and Barroom Heroes by having Marc “Pepe Peligroso” Paradis back on the air. (On the civilian side of the air, that is–he is also a DJ at WHIV.) I think I am capitalizing WORLD PREMIERE to evoke the PHYSICAL CHALLENGE of Rory Danger, who we also spun. What fun!!
Live music, flowers, chit chat and more! That was one of those episodes that felt like a well-oiled machine…everyone efficiently performed 2 excellent songs, nothing really inconvenient happened, we were cleared out in time for Steve to start on time, I got introduced to some new music, Gianni took these winsome pics (and videos which I will slap on here later) …A+!
ALSO! We are having a Crawfish Boil at Checkpoint Charlie’s on 4/22 (Sunday) to fund the live album! Live music by a bunch of our regular lurkers, crawfish simmered by Brooks Webb & Michael Darby, laundry right adjacent. Cmon out!

This came up in my facebook memories <3. Anyways, special extended edition last Thursday as we were covering for Steve Williams’ show 9-11pm as well. Thank you to all you new friends and old ones for tuning in, tuning up, hanging out, etc., many thanks to Sharappa for all these videos and Natasha for the photons!

(Or sharing with your social mediaites.) Half the proceeds will go to WHIV 102.3 FM New Orleans, the other half to the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic in honor of Washboard Lissa.
Almost halfway to fundraising goal, and playlist from last Thursday’s show! Thanks to all the musicians and lurkers who hung out, and to my Annie and Dan (my aunt & uncle in from Massachusetts!) for hangin’ with all us crazies 🙂

Several of the magicians who will appear on the album played live on last week’s show, we spun a bunch of local recorded tracks, we drank some seriously basic drinks (O’Doul’s out of a mug, vodka cran…) …a good time was had by all. Thank you to Rose for these photos I klepto’d 🙂
