Great music. Just about feels like I'm back in my hotel room in the Quarter after a nice run through New Orleans. Okay, it doesn't really feel like that at all but it was a nice selection of music celebrating New Orleans & Mardi Gras. Of course Fat Tuesday was like 2 weeks ago but better late than never!
