Let's talk about New Orleans without using the phrase 'who dat!'

It's supposed to be excellent, and my sister is a co-producer on it, so my there's my bias. May as well celebrate all that with a classic Meters jam, still the city's funkiest export.

And as coincidence would have it, I'm playing some hot New Orleans jazz this Friday night with the Ramblers at Sunny's. If you're anywhere near Red Hook, come on out!
