Haven't been in a long time, but have wonderful memories from my trips there. If it was your first time there, just a shame you couldn't have seen it pre-Katrina. Then again, I haven't seen it post-Katrina yet...but have heard from several who have. SO much great music there...though so sad that so many of its best players have moved away. <BR/><BR/>"Treme" sounds great. Congrats.

I've gotta cut my video and post it. I was travelling with a suit case of pound cakes. That's another story.
