Well, the end of this day was the Springsteen concert where I talk about in its own post. But the rest of this day was good too. I managed to sell my extra ticket so I started off happy.
The first act was John Mooney, a modern day blues singer. He was born in New Jersey but now lives in New Orleans.
After Mooney came Sonny Landreth. I saw Sonny last year at the Jazz Fest. Sonny is a master of the slide guitar.
And finally before the Springsteen show came Allen Toussiant and Elvis Costello. Allen performed a lot of his old hits and than brought Elvis out. They have a new cd coming out in June, The River In Reverse, and yes it is about Katrina and its aftermath. They did the title song and it was very good. Allen ended with a song, calling out to various aspects of New Orleans and its areas, saying we'll be back.
After this came Springsteen but I talk about him in another post.
