Zydeco memories anyone? How about Buckwheat Zydeco at the Bethesda, MD American Legion in 1987. Bopping Ballmerians... one of the best shows I've ever gone to.

As this blizzard roles in, I have a feeling this whole day will be composed of lounging in a smoking jacket, consuming hot rum drinks, and listening to the great music on WFMU... Very much enjoying this show!

the beauty of NOLA is that someone's always playing something good on their car stereo or in the coffeeshops/bars... no autotune anywhere that I heard
