Battle of Three Bands, French Quarter Festival 2009

[4freespeech]

What gave New Orleans its soul & culture before Katrina was the city

was 60% African-American.

They've demolished low income housing to build pricey condos and poor folk have been

gentrified out. I see a few African-Americans on the street but its not the

same. If we went to N.O. now I'd probably walk thru the 9th ward bawling.

If you never lived there back in the day you wouldn't understand.

Exellent fun and exellent jazz wish I saw it live - great atmosphere

[000pipewrench000]

There were 17 stages with fantastic bands from some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world, as well as some great gospel and country bands.

These stages were on the courthouse steps on Royal street.
