Adam let it slip last weekend that they were playing that fest. And he said to stay tuned because a big grand ol' fall tour is being planned!

Seriously though, I think we'll be in for this one...sounds too good to miss.

Oh how I miss Ash's enthusiasm!

If you're in New Orleans on Thursday, Oct. 29, you can see Blues Traveler FREE at Lafayette Park (5:00 pm - 7:30 pm) as part of the Harvest the Music Fall Concert Series. I have once been to a free show at the park, and I will tell ya, it's very crowded, you have to spend a lot of time if you go to get a drink or some food, and it's difficult to see the stage unless you get there early. So, don't make a special effort to be here for it, but check it out if you happen to be here already.

And guess what? We're only 6 weeks from Voodoo!

Of course you can add me to the roll call. I know Josh will come with me to Tip's, but I don't think he's going to Voodoo. He definitely wants to haunt around the Marigny on Halloween night, though. And my friend Louie the Taper will most likely be going and taping. And John (Hog Calla) says he plans to go Sunday to Voodoo and Tip's as well. It's gonna be tons of fun!! Wish Kerry (Swamp Cracka) was gonna be in town. But he's doing the festival circuits in Cali right now. And who knows where he'll be at the time.

I've heard JJ talk about Coops on recordings. That sounds good too.

"krispy kreme donut bread pudding" You've GOT to be kidding me! I MUST have some of that. My cholesterol is rising just thinking about. I'm gonna come back from NOLA either fat and happy or in a pine box!

(I have the worst diet y'all. Everything that's bad for you is everything I like.)

Cleary's Piano, Bass & Drums will be setting up shop for a weekly residency in the intimate confines of dba on Frenchman Street in the Faubourg Marigny on Thursdays in October on 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. The trio will feature noted bassist James Singleton (Astral Project, Professor Longhair), and funky drummer Doug Belote (Larry Carlton, Jerry Douglas). Come for the weekly hang to check out JC's newest material while sampling dba's amazing selection of whiskey and tequila.

Put on your freakiest costume and head down to the Maple Leaf on Saturday, October 31st for a slamming show with Cleary's new trio featuring the sly funk of drummer Doug Belote, the lyrical bass playing of James Singleton with special guest Donald Harrison on saxophone. It will be a night to remember!

We got our room booked, in the lower Garden District. Got a good rate on a flight so we're flying. Got to parachute out from 10,000 feet, but hey a good rate is a good rate.

We'll be hitting the ground about 10 a.m. on Friday. Ain't nobody on the lineup at the Voodoo grounds we particularly wanna see on Friday nite but these all sound good:
Rebirth Brass Band and Big Sam's Funky Nation
Porter Batiste Stoltz w/ Bonerama @ Tip's French Quarter
Galactic with Mike Dillon's GoGo Jungle @ Tip's Uptown

The next 2 days are intended to be drunken debauchery at its finest. I don't remember yet what I want to do. I forgot to what I did I don't remember. Right?
