Carnival season began today! Let the good times roll.

No chance of shedding the extra holiday pounds either, these cakes are everywhere through Mardi Gras day.

Yeah those songs (and a few others) are longtime staples around here, mostly 50’s era New Orleans R&B. I guess they never made their way to a national audience.

From his 1998 CD Anutha Zone, here is Dr. John and Sweet Home New Orleans. Dr. John, born Malcolm Rebennack in New Orleans, is best known for his 1973 top-ten hit Right Place Wrong Time. Hey, we're not getting off-topic here, are we?

A week off from school for Mardi Gras?? Gotta make sure those middle schoolers get out and see topless women wearing bead necklaces and puking in alleyways?

A week off seems excessive even to us. A lot of people here use Mardi Gras as a good time to go to Disney when it’s otherwise less than peak season.
