Despite the windy day, we had to include our traditional St. Louis Cathedral picture with our most recent guest, Carol Vagnini, Bev's dear friend from Wooster. Carol, a Montessori teacher, used her spring break to come and work in New Orleans. She was very clear that she came to work, but of course we convinced her that it was her "duty" to support the local restaurants and musicians. (Is this beginning to sound like a refrain?) I think Carol wins the prize for the most bands in one night--Liuzzi's By the Tracks, The Mid-City Rock 'n' Bowl (Zydeco), and Vaughan's (Kermit Ruffins)--all after a hard day of painting and knowing that we'd be up early the next day.
Waiting for the greeting and safety lecture at Musicians' Village before we head to work
O.K. Ken, now you know that Carol is a "master painter" and you'll be able to save lots of money at home.
The "gypsy jazz" group, Vavavoom, is one of our favorites
Wooster friend, and self proclaimed "Jazz Buff," Julie Fishelson, treated us to great Creole food and traditional jazz with 95-year-old, Lionel Forbos on trumpet at the Palm Court.
