My friend Tony Owens organized the 1st Annual Ernie K-Doe R&B tribute. It was a true honor to be asked to perform with the living legends of New Orleans R&B: Al "Carnival Time" Johnson, Oliver "La-La" Morgan, Rico Watts, Sharon as well as "Mr. Confessin' A Feeling" himself- Tony Owens. Antoinette K-Doe treated us with love and respect and we had a great time playing and partying with friends and fans from all over the globe. You can not do anything but pass a good time when the Callen's are in the house!		Mary and Jim "Corps Solide" Callen
	John Lindberg made his regular visit to the Tricou House on world famous Bourbon street to sit in with his friends Lips & the Trips.
	While John was hanging out with his friends I attended to some business at the Louisiana Music Factory and found our CD was filed under New Orleans - local music!
Curtis Obeda and Snooks Eaglin share a celebratory cigar at the Rock & Bowl	On Monday, our last night in town, we visited the Mid City Lanes (the Rock and Bowl) to see our favorite New Orleans guitarist Snooks Eaglin. The bass player showed up late and Snooks decided to make up for the delayed start time by taking requests from the audience. I was stunned to hear the first request: "Mustang Sally!" The man sometimes referred to as the human jukebox, with numerous great recordings to his credit was asked to play the simple-minded's national anthem. The next few requests were no better as Snooks performed "I've Got My Mojo Working" and other songs associated with the Blues Brothers. We did get to hear some classic Snooks before the night was over and a good time was had by all as we wound up our trip to New Orleans for the 2002 Jazz & Heritage Festival.
