Show Notes:
Ol' Ms. Osbourne put on a real show, that being the songs of Bob Dylan as a pre-show for her late night sit-in Jazzfest set.

I was unable to stay for the late set, featuring a Neville Brother (Cyrus? Cyril?) and Bernard Purdie (drummer for Steely Dan/Mowtown/etc.) and others. but I made sure to buy this ticket weeks in advance (they were $45 @ the door!), and methinks yet again a home run was hit and you're in for a real treat.

I made friends with those on both sides of me, and that made for near perfect conditions (lady on the right had to say something to me during the encore break, but other than occasional distant chatter, it's void of distractions.

Included are a few pix of some 'voodoo sculptures' that adorned the entryway to the venue entrance for your viewing pleasure...you know, to get you in the mood.

I could walk around New Orleans for weeks.

Yeah, Joan Osbourne doing Dylan.

Dig it.


Thank Dennis.

Blow me off

Or, you know the drill...

wWhere will show number 5 take you? (it's in the can)

#5 (if captured later today) is for the ladies...
