"If You Don't Like My Peaches Then Don't Shake My Tree" was a featured song at the fabled Preservation Hall last night when we took in, what was of the most wonderful evenings of jazz we have ever experienced. The quintet was exactly what one would envision in a New Orleans jazz club. The personalities were unique and the music inspirational. My only regret being that we weren't allowed to shoot photos or take videos. However, prior to the show I was able to snap a few to try and capture the essence of the room and intimate surroundings.
I tell everyone I meet while enjoying their travels “if you want to come back, then
first, you have to go home”. Well for once I partially followed my own advice
and did come back, though we hadn’t gone home yet. A lovely Sunday afternoon
was spent back in NOLA, exploring the French Quarter by foot once again. Mule drawn carriages were among the many sights, sounds and scenes changing continually while we touring the French Market
just a block away from the boardwalk and the meandering Mississippi. Gumbo and live
jazz was on the menu for lunch and both were exceptional. I also got to see my
Riverboat up close and came to realize we have only touched the surface of
discovering this inspirational southern Louisiana setting. I can now tick another one off the bucket list.
