No, it's not another political organization...
Last Wednesday I went to the Botanical Gardens to a "Garden Party" with food and a very nice concert by the Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars!
This is Jumpin' Johnny Sansone...
And these are the Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars:
Jumpin’ Johnny Sansone, Cyril Neville, Anders Osborne, and Waylon Thibodeaux, with drummer and bass player whose names I never got (and they never did solos.)
And here's another member, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux.
They played for over two hours at the Botanical Garden... $10 to get in, and they had $2 sodas, and $4 hamburgers and $5 etouffe! A very classy evening, not too expensive.
The concert was a great combination of Cajun songs, like "Row Row Row That Pirouge" and Mardi Gras songs, like "Here Come The Indians Now"

Their leader, Tab Benoit, was away for this performance, but I hope to see them at a festival on October 10 in Houma.... if I don't have to be at a wedding.
