Hey, you're a Tailgators fan! Saw 'em a coupla times in Austin, as well as the LeRoi Bros. Good tunes!

Thamks for the link. Can never have enough Mardi Gras or cajun music. Mardi Gras is like Halloween in the spring, only more emphasis on party than horror. I miss the old days when the Travel Channel showed the parades live all day, sigh.
