Hey kids, it's Mardi Gras time!!! "Throw me somethin' mister!!" Fat Tuesday is only two weeks away, and the partying has begun in earnest in New Orleans. So grab your umbrella and your white hankie and join in the second line! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Great! Have to admit that my fave homage to the city of brotherly decadence is Tom Waits' "I wish I was in New Orleans". I know you weren't going for that vibe, though. There are some real faves here, and some songs totally alien to me. NO is one of my all-time favorite cities, though I didn't visit during MG time - I'm afraid that the city would kill me then.

Supa'...! Let the good times roll! (No Dr. John..?)
One of our fav' cities as well, but Stacie says we'd weigh 300 lbs. if we lived there. I think she's almost right.

U do 'em good, Steve. This is no exception. It looks as tasty as a pan full of Jambalaya/Gumbo, or whatever this ill-informed Scotsman thinks passes for food down Louisiana way. Damn, my stomach's rumbling already. Just as well the good lady has dinner almost ready!

Super Mix!! Meters "They All Ask For You" and James Sugarboy Crawford's original "Jock-o-Mo" are all-time great songs.

What can I add? Gimme a muffaletta (a local Italian deli makes a good 'un here in Joisey ?!) and this mix and I'm sittin' in Jackson Square. Excellent.
