Tonight "New Orleans...Live n' Kickin'" opened their tour in Aspen, Colorado. It was a great performance by Marva Wright, Eddie Bo, Wanda Rouzan, A Taste of New Orleans Rhythm & Blues All Star Band, The Pinstripe Brass Band, and James and Trombone Shorty Andrews. If you get a chance to see it don't miss it. They were great. About 2/3rds of the way through the show they showed slides of New Orleans: the flooding, the devastation, the faces of the people. Wanda Rouzan did a narration which she started with "We will miss you, Stevenson." If any of you know any member of this touring group please let them know how much we all appreciate this remembrance.
