The Dinerral Shavers Educational Fund Brass Band Blowout
Posted by Kevin Allman on Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 10:22 PM
We didn't go to the Dinerral Shavers Educational Fund Brass Band Blowout at Howlin' Wolf on Saturday night, but Liprap did and you can read an extensive report over at her blog:
If one show can encompass all of what makes New Orleans great, I think I experienced it this past Saturday night and kept with it into Sunday morning. ...Can't think of a better way to help commemorate the dearly departed, aside from bringing the crime rate way, way, waaaay down in this city. After all this time, we are still hurting, but we will not go quietly. Whatever deity might be out there will be getting one brassy kaddish coming up from our numbers quite regularly. Magnified and sanctified will be the names of the fallen with every note played and every beat in time.
And look: video of the Stooges Brass Band tearing it up:
Speaking of video: there's no real place to put this, but it must be seen -- the #1 star of Bourbon Street, Miss Chris Owens, doing the #1 song of 2009, Lady Gaga's "Poker Face":

There is no way to express the sorrow I feel for all those lost when the city of New Orleans flooded during Hurricane Katrina. I feel even greater sorrow for those left behind and for those who lost somebody, whether it was during the storm or the years that have followed. I may live in just a little corner of Northeast Alabama, but my heart and love go to everyone who was affected by this tragedy. Rest in peace, Dinerral.
