I'm excited to be a part of this celebration of the late James Carol Booker. Dec 17th was his birthday. He would have been 71. Keyboardist Tom Worrell is putting together a great night. It starts at the Maple Leaf Bar at 7pm with some of the finest current New Orleans piano players.
The lineup so far: Tom McDermot, Joshua Paxton, Joe Krown, Tom Worrell, CR Cruver, and Bill Malchow.
Tomorrow is Halloween. My first Halloween in New Orleans, I'm told to expect tricker treaters.
I'll be playing with Shannon McNally and Hot Sauce at the WWOZ stage. 11:15am. City Park, New Orleans, LA.
‘Why so late? well things rang late, I’ve spent the day gathering boxes from friends and the Coke Bottling Plant in Maspeth (sorry Pepsi Folks, you’ll get your turn). Why? Cause my girl and I are moving. Moving to New Orleans.
I’ve had many a fan (and musician) say they thought I was from New Orleans, and I figure that is the highest compliment I could get. But no, I’m not from there. I’ve visited a lot but I’ve never lived there more then a month at a time. I just fell in love with the music.
So I’ve finally succumbed to her gravity. I’m really thankful that my girl Rachael, who is doing quite well here, is joining me on this journey.
So yes, I’m excited. but also sad. As far as cool towns go, NYC is hard to beat. Luckily, we have JetBlue for future reunions.
I’m at Rodeo Bar tonight, thursday May 20. Joining me tonight is Jon Ellis, Dave Phelps, Louie Appel and Matt Lindsey
We move in mid June.
Bill
