Cajun Man: Treme Brass is hollerin’ on the speakers now. Best to you, and a hope yer well esconsced in a Second Line up there!

Johnny LA: The Satellite Bar is the best/weirdest bar on the planet. I’m assuming you ventured upstairs to the freaky art gallery…

I’m wearin’ my two biggest strands of beads(size o’ jawbreakers,one black, t’other white as pearls, and both three feet long) ever accomplished in NOLA. Can’t tell what I did for 'em, but damn if it still doesn’t make me smile all the same.
