Steamboat Willie - Café Beignet, French Quarter Fest, New Orleans, LA - April 8, 2011


[from New Orleans] I think this was the band’s name – there were about ten men on the stage – all older gents, each with a different instrument – the music was so markedly better than what we’d been hearing pouring out of Bourbon St clubs, that we knew we had arrived at our first official French Quarter Fest stage – traditional jazz – I don’t know the proper terms but it’s the happy go lucky kind that makes me think of full dresses and big rivers – it was great!
