Special Plea: I need someone to fill in on Tuesday March 13th and Tuesday March 20th cuz my parents are coming down to the bayou to visit and I haven't seen them in 3 years, so I want to spend time with them. Can anyone help me out? (I can make sure it gets published to An Ear for Music if you're not a member.)
Howdy howdy howdy everybody! Yessir, it's Tuesday evening so you know what time it is! Yes, thank gawd - it's time to leave all the bad news and politics behind and escape into our favorite tunes instead!
Well, today is Mardi Gras, so....
The theme tonight is Mardi Gras songs. Now, Mardi Gras songs don't have to be about Mardi Gras; they can be good jazz, party songs, songs about the Crescent City, and of course, songs about Mardi Gras or with Mardi Gras in the title, album, or artist.
So what are your favorite Mardi Gras songs?
Come below the kosquiggle for a few of mine!
Also, one quick note: In an effort to try to cut the upload time, if you can remember, when you go to embed in the comments, you can change the size to a smaller one, like 350 width. Maybe this will help. If it doesn't, back to the drawing board. And no worries if you don't want to or don't remember - no big! :D
