First day of the French Quarter Festival yesterday! Coco Robicheaux was on the Coors Light stage sponsored by DBA (does DBA even serve Coors, hopefully not) with a great band including Dave Easley on steel pedal guitar, who has to be one of the best guitar players (if not musicians flatout) in the Big Easy.

Coco looked unusually pale, even considering his usual countenance outside the Apple Barrel, and mentioned something about "not to be surprised if (we) saw any UFO's," which made sense seeing that there was an solar eclipse later that afternoon.

Coco said his CD "Spiritland" had gone out of print between mumbling about "black cat bone" and Marie Laveaux and looking roughly in the direction of the North Shore.

I am off to pay a few bills in Bossier City, La. but will be back down by the river tommorow.
