(It’s October 22nd, and you know what that means…it’s time for THE BIG OL’ CHICKEN-FEST!
(I completely made that up.) We’re celebrating my dad being in town with a boiled chicken/fried fish fiasco a la Darby and Brandy Roden, plus mystery *legal* reptile courtesy of Cajun cooker Red DeVecca… And (duh) New Orleans music played live from 102.3 WHIV FM studios! Plus…
Last night’s playlist, big thanks to 102.3 WHIV FM fellow deejays and “Resident Ameripolitan Experts” (both nominees in this year’s Ameripolitan Awards) Vanessa Niemann and Jimi Palacios for picking tunes and chatting about radio, Austin, The West, music, (attempted) murder, and more!
Inter-parish Carnival fiesta, from St. Bernard to the Treme! Playlist below.
Big thanks to the Vanilla Gorilla and the Suntan Superman aka Frank andBoom of the Old Arabi Bar, their pal Jacob, Pizza Mike, and Big Chief Kevin Goodman for agreeing to be part of this madcap variety show (Reynard Green was detained at work on account of some sports, but we’ll get him back soon), Vanessa Niemann aka Gal Holiday and Lynn Drury for swooping in unexpectedly and adding to the merriment, Wade Burnham for always providing killer getaway music (The Super Sounds of Sunday, 11p-1a every week, folks), and Jim Smith (current title-holder for most on-air mentions in the category of undersung New Orleans musicalheroes) with the lovely Angelo for graciously hosting the after-party.
