BRIAN & ANGELA

NEW ORLEANS ~ STREET JAZZ ~ A 4 4 4 2 Sonnet

 PICTURE \"BLACKBEARD & HOWLER\" ~ TYPICAL UK BUSKER

 

STREET BUSKERS ~ in the USA

Are in a class of their OWN 

Especially in New Orleans

Exceptional CLASS is shown !

 

Play unrestricted in the streets

The FEDS all turn a blind eye

The JAZZ they play ~ Pure New Orleans

Free for the passers bye !

 

STREET BUSKERS ~ here in the UK

You hear while out for Jog

Are nothing to write home about

Just one Man and his howling DOG !

 

The big exception ~ beg my pardon

Classical Buskers in COVENT GARDEN !

 

Thanks for listening ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

NEW ORLEANS ~ The home of JAZZ ~ Became part of

the USA in 1803 and was purchased from FRANCE by

Thomas Jefferson (America\'s Greatest President !) in

the Louisiana Purchase @ 3 cents per Acre !

I visited with a group of JAZZ / ELVIS fans in 2003

(ante-alluvione) an amazing city and we enjoyed a

Jazz Cruise on the Mississippi and the up to Memphis

to \"meet\" Elvis and then on to the Opry for the Johnny

Cash Memorial Concert hosted by Kriss Kristopherson !

If you\'ve never been to New Orleans ~ Put it on your

\"MUST DO\" list and go for MARDI GRAS (5th March 2019)

when you see her at her most flambouyant. She has now

recovered from the disastrous floods in 2005 ~ many died 

and many left (mainly to Texas) and never came back !
