Painting of New Orleans Coffee House in the Marigny

Save the Fly at Audubon Park New Orleans

The Carrollton Boosters are planning to take over more of the precious green space on the Audubon Fly in New Orleans for a new sports complex and expanded parking to accommodate it, as well as new concession stands. Children’s sports are great but there are many places to put a soccer field. There is only one pubic green in uptown New Orleans where you can view the river. It is treasured by many. We have close to 1000 signatures on a petition opposing the plan in the first 12 hours and over 500 are planning to come to picnic on the site to protest the plans with only two days notice. Here is a link to the Facebook page with the petition. https://www.facebook.com/SAVEtheFLYNOLA/

 

There is an existing children’s playground on this spot that is surrounded by green space with a view of the river and visible from the road in an inviting way. This playground will disappear. It will be replaced by one that is embedded within the sports complex, surrounded by fenced soccer fields and parking lots with no green space or view. It will not be visible from the road and children will have to navigate within the sports complex to find it. Access to the green space will be denied to everyone forever. The existing green space will be buried under the Astroturf soccer field, the concrete concessions stands, and the asphalt parking lot. It will be gone.

There is also a beautiful arts pavilion paid for by city money. The Stage for Viewing was the winner of a city-wide contest and placed where there is the best view of the river. It will be removed and gone.

Private, Public and Charter schools of the City of New Orleans organize school picnics for multi racial, multi income families right there. The set-up is perfect for children because it is self-contained. They can play safely hide and seek around the trees. Parents love it because of the great view of the river. Do not make it a restricted access space! The Audubon golf course has already taken too much of Audubon Park. Carrollton boosters could use the space behind the swimming pool on Magazine Street. Don't take away this beautiful green island from the children of New Orleans!

All on a Mardi Gras Day – New Orleans Celebrates

Red Beans and Rice Parade in New Orleans Lundi Gras

Here are a few scenes of this fun event during New Orleans Mardi Gras. We will make this a regular part of our carnival schedule. It operated like a second line with many people joining into the walking parade. There were stops at Buffa's, Candlelight Lounge and other places. Most of the costumes were made with red beans and there was a guy offering repair services in route.

   

 
The many faces of the Red Beans and Rice parade: Here is Arséne DeLay and many others. You can see her red beans top hat on the left below. One woman came as Freida Kahlo. They threw bean cups. 

   

 

Degas in New Orleans - What if Gauguin Came Also

I am reading an interesting book, Degas in New Orleans. It was a thoughtful gift from Alex Zinner. Degas came to New Orleans at a formative period in his art. He was still looking for his major themes that solidified later. During the trip he produced a number of significant works. While he was in New Orleans Degas wrote back to France that his friend Manet would find great subjects for painting here. I would agree. Here is blog post I did a while back on Degas in New Orleans: Thoughts on Painters and Their Subjects (http://billives.typepad.com/portals_and_km/2015/04/degas-in-new-orleans-thoughts-on-painters-and-their-subjects.html)  Below is one the works he did while here. 

Many years after his trip to New Orleans Degas heard that Gauguin was looking for an exotic place in the world free of the strictures of modern life. Degas suggested New Orleans. Gauguin thought it might be too civilized and went to Tahiti instead. Looking at Gauguin’s work in Tahiti we might imagine how he would have portrayed turn of the 20^th century New Orleans with it street markets, Storyville, voodoo, and jazz. His work might have created an indelible image of the city at that time. Below is a one of his Tahitian paintings. Imagine that style addressed to New Orleans.

Updated Index to Cities and Towns with Restaurant Picks – November 2015

I have now provided restaurant picks by friends for an increasing number of cities and towns. I also do a few myself. This blog post serves as an index to them with links for easy access. I will continue to update this index as I add more places. It is past time to update it as I last posted the index on May 2010.

Why do I write about restaurant picks by friends when Zagat and other places have plenty of reviews for most cities? My reviews are by people I know and trust their tastes. I do not know the people in Zagat’s or Gourmet. etc. and I do not always agree with them even though I do use them as useful input. You just have to decide how much you trust me versus the “official” guides. I certainly do not pretend to be an expert but I also am not connected with any places or have an agenda except to give my opinion and those of people I trust. I just know what I like and the list is part of my personal knowledge management system. I often consult it myself went going on a holiday or business trip. I hope it helps you, also. Here is a post that explains it in more detail, Restaurant Reviews – Why I Blog Them. In this post I also show how I both agree and disagree with another ’official” reviewer, Gourmet Magazine.

New Orleans Fall Festivals: Cops2 Blues and Oak Street Poboy

Every year the weekend before Thanksgiving brings us two great free festivals, Cops2 Blues and Oak Street Poboy. This year we saw Jon Cleary do his solo act of old school New Orleans R&B at the Cops 2 Festival on Saturday November 21. Jon provided a high energy set despite the rain or perhaps to reward those who stayed. You can see one of Jon’s young fans below.

 

Then there is a man making beignets with Jon arriving in the background. We had some delicious catfish with onion sauce, yellow rice, corn on the cobs and a croissant.

   

The next day brought the Oak Street Poboy Festival. In the morning we volunteered and passed out festival maps at Oak and Carrolton. I also helped sort merch on the second floor at the Maple Leaf. You can see the view from its balcony below.

   

Then we saw Eric Johanson play some strong blues at the Maple Leaf.

This year the festival gave VIP passes to all the people living within a block of Oak Street as a thank you for the disruption. The gesture was much appreciated as we next went to the GW Fins booth for their lobster poboy. We would have never waited in the block long line. You can also see the multi-person assembly line putting the poboy together, what one looks like and me enjoying one.

       

Next we went to our neighbors for some wonderful food and music. They set up a stage on the front porch. Another neighbor, Chad Toups, brought his high energy funk band, Noisewater.  They played several sets, both day and night.

   

After that we saw Jon Cleary for the second day in a row. This time he was with his band, the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. Jon even played guitar for several sings as the sun went down behind the levee.

   

Finally, after some more Noisewater, I went to the Maple Leaf to hear Joe Krown and Russell Batiste with some guests. It was a full day.

 

Allen Toussaint - Great American Composer and Much More

Here are some warm and respectful thoughts on Allen Toussaint by David Simon, the producer of HBO Treme, David describes some moments during the production of Treme that reveal some nice moments with Allen Toussaint. I really enjoyed his participation in the series. As David wrote they are, "reflections on a gentle, giving soul and one of the finest composers who ever created American music." My friend Paul Tamburello sent me the link.

Here is a recent blog post by Paul on Allen Toussaint: A Tribute To An Iconic Singer/Songwriter. Here is another by Paul: Toussaint's Southern Nights Tone Poem

Here is a nice video of Jon Cleary at Chicki Wah Wah playing Allen Toussaint's music and talking about him. We have seen Jon at Chicki Wah Wah many times and always enjoy our time there. We also often listen to his tribute CD to Toussaint.

Allen Toussaint was an inspiration as a person and as a musician. We have seen him live many times and he gave so much to the audience. He would often sit in with musicians he came to see and gave them a real thrill, as welll as the audience.

Here is Allen with John Boutte doing his song, All These Things  Here he is doing his famous song, Southern Nights, . 

Song of a Man Coming Through - Powerful Play in New Orleans

I saw the very moving and well-performed play, Song of a Man Coming Through, by Joe Morris Doss and Andrew Doss produced by the Southern Rep. It covers the true story of Earnest Knighton, who was executed in Louisiana in 1984 for the shooting death of a service station owner during an armed robbery. It is a powerful tale of redemption and the cruelty of the death penalty and the racism connected with its use in the US. The play was written by Joe Morris Doss and his son Andrew. Joe was one of Earnest's lawyers. 

Robert Diago DoQui played Earnest and was a tower of strength who made a passionate case against the death penalty. Against his attorneys’ advice, Earnest gave an interview in hopes of using his life and execution as a model for kids to avoid using drugs. It is available on YouTube. Lance Nichols, who played the dentist in HBO Treme, played a fellow inmate who provided a means for dialogue on the issue Earnest faced.

I was impressed with both the message of the play and its artistry. The play made me more convinced in the evil of the death penalty. As I understand it, in Earnest's case it was not warranted, even under the laws at the time, as he did not intend to kill his victim in advance of the crime. Several others, who were white and committed worst crimes were given life in prison rather than the death penalty by the same judge and prosecutor within months of Earnest's trail.  Earnest deserved a lengthy sentence or even life in prison but not death. I am very much in favor of life in prison with no possibility of parole for certain crimes. I think the guilty person should be made to do work that benefits the family of the victim and not simply live in jail. Too many times an innocent person was executed and that sentence cannot be undone. 

There are a number of artistic elements that strengthen the play as a work of art. First, the play opens with members of the cast greeting the audience in the entry hall and leading them into the church that served as a theater in the round. They sing gospel songs as the audience is led in and the audience is encouraged to join in. There was a round of familiar gospel songs before the play started that provided a successful opportunity for the actors to connect with audience.  Barbara Shorts, who I have seen at Jazz Fest, was one of the gospel singers, along with Brittany James. The audience was also encouraged to join in the singing throughout the play. This helped establish a connection between actors and audience.

Second, as I mentioned, the role of the fellow inmate provided means to let us know what Earnest is thinking and offers means to challenge some of his views. This exchange provides an alternative to the conversations Earnest has with his lawyers. 

Thirdly, Earnest remains on stage in his cell in the theater in the round while his law team talks about him on the side lines in a bar or an office. You see him reading a book while he is being discussed and it brings home how he might think about what is being said about him, swell as some of the shallowness of the conversation. 

Finally, the minimalist stage itself provides a flexible set up for many of the scenes that vary from jail to the governor's office to the Supreme Court. The actors are able to get us to believe in the real nature of each situation through their talented performances. 

I highly recommend this work. November 21 was the last performance of this session but I hope it comes back soon.
