what happens in NOLA, STAYS in NOLA!!!!

[kap'n krunch]

well, a very dear friend from HIGH school (1979!) visited me this last weekend -took him to the airport earlier today-and I took him to a Saturday night "special double header" to show him the BEST of the musical polar opposites in NOLA:
-Preservation Hall band at 6:15 PM show
-the legendary Little Freddie King at the dba club in Frenchman's street at 10 PM...

the funniest part was that when the Preservation Hall introduced us to "Phil The Bucket"(tips) I was about to get up to put a few bills in there when I saw that this skinny blonde girl wearing a short black velvet skirt dress was putting several $20s in the till in a very cute way and I thought "well, somebody with a personality was being very gratious with the band, cool" and when she turned around I suddenly realized it was ...Taylor Swift!!!! cause she basically walked an inch past me...well, whaddayaknow???? cool...

Well, it was a great night and Little Freddie King played a wonderful set, and he didn't break a sweat...and he's 80 years old!...it was an incredible evening!

So, here is the great Shannon Powell (drums and overall MC) .. that's me to the right...

and here is the Legendary Little Freddie King wearing an awesome suit , hat AND some beautiful RED SHOES!...he even played "Boogie Chillun'"!!!

And THAT is NOLA, boys and girls....!

Bro, that is so freaking cool. And, you're looking great my man! Next time I'm in Nola, I'm calling you.

That is so cool. I once saw the Meters performing at Voodoo Festival in City Park, with Ray Davies of The Kinks watching from the side of the stage.

Sounds like so much fun! Great Pictures. I did not realize that you were in New Orleans. I grew up between N.O. and Morgan City. Were you living in N.O. when Record Ron's was open in the Quarter? My time in N.O. was spent between Record Ron's, Werlein's music on Canal, and of course Tower Records.

I just moved here in August 2019, and on top of that it has been PANDEMIC TIME so I have not been able to see that much…hell, I just went to Café du Monde for coffee and beignets for the first time this last Friday!

I’m sure she does. Smell good that is. I wouldn’t mind finding out for myself if you get my drift . I’m sure you will be telling the story 30 years from now. Your big brush with fame!

A lot better than mine....I was at my co-workers kegger one night some 35 years ago. I had done some strong L$D, and ended up talking with this guy at 2:00 AM as the party winded down. During our furtive conversation, due to my state, he blurted out that he was married to Olivia Newton John. He wasn’t lying.
