thank you for writing such a great song, mr. newman. no one can sing it like marcia ball. she puts every ounce of her being into. great sax, as well..

@dwnbayou I agree- she was deeply moved by the moment. The interview on the DVD this is from shows it.

does anybody know where there's a version of Marcia Ball's song about her grandfather "the fisherman"??---she sings: "this used to be paradise..."

[slowhand1007]

Who are the 11 dislikes? WTF?

[humuya121]

Best rendition ever. There are tears in my eyes as we face historic flooding once agaon.

[TheBitterWeed]

I wish I was in the South again...

@LaHolly I was there. There were enough tears to flood a levee. One of the most emotional moments I've ever felt at a live performance. John Boutte, in one song, became a New Orleans musical giant.
