  • why was the firat broken up by police?  (sorry I'm from Ohio and don't know)

  • I'm from New Orleans and I don't know either.

    It seems the spontanouesness and free-dancing and playing appears fearsome to many people, including the police. Most people that are negative about second lines don't understand the tradition and have never actually been in a second line.

    It is a shame that one of the few American cities that does have a lot of cultural tradition does not protect and cherish it, but on the contrary, it fights it.

  • I wish I knew what to do to keep them from being so ignorant and destructive.

  • i love this music!keep in life your jazz tradition new orleans!!keep it!!

    from france.

  • im from california but know about the 2nd line, :)

  • Penn, The police were escorting the parade, not breaking it up. Now after Katrina there was a real controversy because the city started charging A LOT more for this service. I am not really sure how it was settled but I think a compromise was reached because I have not heard more on the subject.

  • People away from new orleans don't know anything about these kinds of things if only they knew how we as a beautiful city enjoy this traditional event thank god for you all to place this on youtube,I miss home so much I was brought up in this enviroment thank you so much,NOTHING LIKE HOME, I'M

    In boring Georgia

  • Wonderful, just wonderful!
