For the love of music
As I sit here sipping a glass of 20-year-old Ramos Pinto and enjoying the sounds of a jazz trio, I can't help but reflect on my musical life of almost 20 years ago.

Night in the Lower Ninth Ward, AK (After Katrina)
A darkened bus slowly rolls along the dimly lit boulevard, eerie in nature but somehow not out of place. We make a New Orleans left around the neutral ground and turn right down that street — you know, that street, the one we've seen countless times on the news. This is the Lower Ninth Ward, one of the front lines against an aqueous siege that nearly claimed her in 2005. A close call, but New Orleans survived.
