Greetings all.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope you all are well.<\/p>\n

I had some other things planned for today, then while I was out running errands I drove past a church with a sign up about Ash Wednesday, which meant only one thing to my deeply lapsed, heathen, ex-Catholic self (I’m so far gone I usually don’t catch on until I see people walking around with ashes on their foreheads<\/em>), that being that Mardi Gras was at hand.<\/p>\n

Despite my obvious affinity for and devotion to the music of New Orleans, for some reason I have a fairly consistent mental block when it comes to remembering Mardi Gras.<\/p>\n

It seems that every single year it comes into my sightline either on the day of or after and I end up sitting here like a schmo wondering why I couldn\u2019t get it together to commemorate that most significant of New Orleans-based festivities.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this year fate stepped in, I saw that sign and mixed you up a nice, spicy bowl of New Orleans funk and soul gumbo.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything in this mix that hasn\u2019t appeared in this space at least once over the years, but that shouldn\u2019t stop you from digging in.<\/p>\n

There are a few Mardi Gras-specific numbers here, including the record that gives the mix it\u2019s title by Bobby Williams<\/strong>, the mighty Professor Longhair<\/strong> and \u2018Big Chief\u2019, the Dixie Cups<\/strong> and their Mardi Gras Indian chant Two Way Poc A Way\u2019 and Earl King\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018Street Parade\u2019.<\/p>\n

There are also a grip of drum-heavy, NOLA party burners as well, powerful enough to get you up out of your seat and on to the floor.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the sounds and I\u2019ll be back on Wednesday with something cool.<\/p>\n
