Thankfully my boys, Kendall and Gerdon, have been holding the place down. And its a good thing, because I've been sucking. But, you know.....trying to get your damn Ph.D. will do that to you. Work's been getting me down. Always seems to find a way, but trying to graduate will really keep you away from your priorities (i.e. posting on music blogs, preparing for fantasy baseball drafts, etc.).
Well, its time for this to stop. And what better to give me a swift kick in the arse than the possibility of attending a music festival.
So, I'm going to the New Orleans Jazz Festival in May and I couldn't be more excited about it. I'm officially purchasing tickets tomorrow. I haven't been to a good music festival since Bonnaroo and even then the 'goodness' is heavily balanced by the associated 'disgustingness' of it.
Well, from what I understand, JazzFest will not be this way and I truly hope not. As it stands today I'm most excited about catching Jimmy Buffett and the Raconteurs.....but I have a feeling as the event approaches I'll be equally excited about catching all the local jazz bands that frequent the event. A couple other "names" that'll be there the weekend i'm going include: The Roots, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Santana, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, etc.
Needless to say, I'm excited. I've never been and i L-O-V-E New Orleans. So, has anyone out there in KGB reader-land ever been?? If so, let me know what you thought and what bands or things you recommend I check out.
So, I'll leave you with this Jimmy Buffett cover song to get you (and more importantly, me) in the mood.
Jimmy Buffett - Scarlet Begonias (Grateful Dead cover)
I promise it won't be three weeks until my next post.....seriously.....i promise.

Damn dude, consider me very jealous. Next to Telluride, this is my most coveted festival. It'll be good to hear your take on it all.
Ditto on the jealous part man. That's gonna be one bad ass festival. I've gotta get down there one of these years. It's gonna happen, I can feel it. Enjoy it for all of us anyway.
i've been every year since 2001...lots of local suggestions in terms of food and music. the best shows don't start till 2-3am, so pace yourself.
definitely check out the schedules at DBA, Tipitinas, Maple Leaf, Blue Nile and other clubs.
basically go to the fest, take a nap, go get a good dinner and plan on hitting a late show. disco nap, rinse, repeat.
jonalexis2527@gmail.com, drop me a line for more specifics
Skip some of the big-name acts and check out the traditional (Dixieland) jazz tent, where you'll see three generations of horn players in great band uniforms playing sweet tunes that will have you laughing and crying at the same time. Nothing like it.
