You know, whenever I am working on a carved house sign I often listen to some good music in the background. Lately I've listened to cajun music more and more, and it brings back great memories of the good old days of New Orleans.
I was in my early twenties the first time I went to the Big Easy and I still vividly remember the smell of the food and the sounds that came from just about every other corner in the French Quarters. Year after year I made sure to go back to New Orleans just so I could "feel" what it's like to be a native of the area. Aside for their colorful expressions that are reflected in their art, food, you have so many blessed musicians that perform on just about every corner of the neighborhood. That music, man it's beautiful. I would sit on the sidewalk and let those sounds just cleanse me out. That's when I officially got baptized to real music.
I would like to share a link that I found on Youtube from from a street band in New Orleans. Maybe it's your turn to get baptized this time around.
Now back to work
