In Honor of Mardi Gras...

Alright, so if you have been New Orleans before you know how crazy that place can be. Drinks, women, strip, clubs, and bars that seem to never close down. I've only been down there once but Jesus it was wild. And then there's the music. New Orleans has a rich history of producing some of the best music and musicians and you know all the great musicians are playing every where in New Orleans right now because of Mardi Gras and since today is Fat Tuesday I thought I would grace y'all with some great New Orleans music....

Classic New Orleans song done by one of the most well known New Orleans native. Dr John doing Iko Iko with a little help from his friends.
