Sorry for taking some time to get back. The music was incredible. Some of the best stuff that we heard was in the streets. The food was something too, but I must admit that I didn't have any Boiled Crawfish. That wasn't by design. We were so busy that we often just grabbed a Po' Boy or Pizza slice.

Preservation Hall was a real trip, but I wish we had got there a bit earlier as were jammed against the back wall and could barely see the band. We left there bound for Snug Harbor, another Jazz club. Just before entering Snug Harbor I caught the sound of something that sounded good coming from across the road. When we entered Snug Harbor the band was on break, but they were playing a video of their earlier set. It was a little to Bebop for me. Went back across the street and had a great time listening to group called the Jazz Vipers. They played more traditional New Orleans style jazz and they cooked. They had a female trombonist who it turns out is from Quebec. She visited New Orleans a few years ago and when she returned home she just couldn't find anything even close to the music she'd experienced in New Orleans so she moved there.

My favourite experiences were the sounds of Jackson Square & Royal Street. Bourbon St. was pretty good, but I think it would have been better when I was 22, not 42. A wild spot.

I guess the one thing that I was disappointed in was that with all the tours they offer, they didn't have a music tour. With all that history and with the number of people who go there for the music, I'd have thought they would have offered a tour.
