Thanks for sharing this, Steve. Anyone who is watching the tremendous Treme series on HBO has noted the mild disdain the musicians in the series have for Bourbon Street venues and �playing for tourists.� I�m sure that there�s plenty of good music to be heard on the street. You've sent some here. I�d appreciate, too, some more tips on non-French Quarter, or other off the beaten track, bars or clubs to hear blues, R �n� B, or jazz. Sam
