Late start today, not mentioning any names, but Barry/Mark taking forever to get ready. FINALLY, we head out to
Port Of Call for the biggest, juiciest cheeseburger ever. Sat next to a young man and his wife who were visiting his inlaws in Slidell and stopped at Port of Call on their way back home to Ft. Walton Beach, FL. I immediately introduced him to Ft. Walton Beach's own, Johnny Gumbo, and they set off to talkin' about racing motorcycles and other old war stories of glories past.
We started our music off with Anders Osborne.
View from the rear of the Acura Stage venue as they set up for Steely Dan and I head for the
Go-Cans. By the way, girls, you MUST lock the door to the toilet lest some gent in a hurry throws open the door while you are in your precarious hovering position (or worse); it was not a comfortable moment for either party. Sorry, ma'am, wherever you may be.

Harry Connick closed the 2007 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival with a powerhouse performance that paid homage to his heroes, mentors and contemporaries. You get the sense that Connick, a god in New Orleans, appreciates everything that the city provided him with to nurture his talents. He recalled playing along side James Booker at Jazz Fest when he was eight years old and dedicated a song in his memory. The set contained a variety of New Orleans standards, from
Working in the Coal Mine,
Hello Dolly and others, performed with Connick's own twist. It was heartwarming to see jazz performed in a way that showed the assembled masses how relevant and dynamic it can be in its highest form. Perfect.
