A Little Bit of Jazz . . .


This weekend, I went to a neat jazz club called 'Irvin Mayfield's Jazz Playhouse.' It's located on Bourbon Street. We had quite a time getting there. Bourbon Street was extremely crowded. It was a very nice cultural experience. I went with my family. There was some great jazz, good food, and a lot of people. Everyone was so excited about the Saint's game. The music was fantastic. This is really what I feel makes this city so great. I mean, the people there were just having a great time as they kicked back and listened to some great tunes. That's part of what makes this city great. We native New Orleanians know how to have a great time. There were a lot of people dancing, talking, eating, and just having one heck of a time.

I had these really good Wasabi Peanuts.

Below is a clip of a traditional, New Orleanian song that I took. The name of the song is 'Go To The Mardi Gras' originally by Professor Longhair.



Here are a few more pictures that I took.




In the end, I can say that I had a great cultural experience. I believe places like this really portray the city at its best (although it's located on a not-so-cultural street.)

Enjoy,
