Still, the Gretna Heritage Fest is rain-or-shine...
Some of the food offerings were different on Sunday:
But all of the music was different. This group was reggae... playing in high winds and rain:
This guy got the covered market to play in. Good New Orleans music!
These guys had a huge area to play to. We actually messed up, and thought they were a substitute and that we were at the "Main Stage"... where the Guess Who were playing. But this was the "Riverfront Stage". There were no obvious signs to the "Main Stage" which looked identical but which was behind the Ferry Landing. Oh well, no Guess Who for me.
The Chee Weez were good though! Covers, but done very energetically by a solid lead singer.
And then there was a parade!
I think the sousaphone was too loud.
And the reason we came: Better Than Ezra, a New Orleans hometown band.
"All across America, people cheer when we say we are from New Orleans!"
Ok, now my ears are really ringing! Home again...
