Next was a train
trip from Memphis to New Orleans (thru
Mississippi) great to see the countryside - lots
of cool looking swampy stuff - so much water in
Louisiana!
New Orleans is an AWESOME
place! so much music and great food and super
super friendly people. We spent most of our time
on Frenchman's street where a lot of the local
musos hang out. Part of Frenchman's street , in
1 mile strip, has 9 cool music venues and 12
restaurants!. Whist in New OrIeans rented a car
and drove top Baton Rouge to see a band called
Drive By Trucker - an awesome gig - sold out 800
seat venue on a Monday night!.
Food included gumbo,
jambalaya, alligator, oysters a plenty,
crawfish, shrimp, ribs and much more. Music
styles we saw included alt country, southern
rock, 30's cabaret style, Cajun/zydeco and
blues.
