Right in time for @dannybarkerfest at the @nolajazzmuseum we have put up more Danny Barker artifacts including a shirt, vest, and tie loaned by Gregg Stafford. Danny Barker was the man besides the fact that he had my job. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdHuznrPzD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was a glorious Mardi Gras. I heard some singing that was out of control. The Golden Eagles shined and Second and dryades was so much fun. Big Chief Monk! https://www.instagram.com/p/Co_DpvItI8s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the only picture I have ever seen of Louis Dumaine. He played with a lot of the early jazz guys but he and his Jazzola 8 recorded a tune in 1927 called “Two wa bac a wa.” It is not an Mardi Gras Indian song, but I think it is the first time a Mardi Gras Indian phrase was used as a song title. Maybe it was the first time a Mardi Gras Indian phrase was used in the world outside that culture. Given it is Carnival Time and everybody’s drinking wine, I am thinking of such things. I need to do some more research on Mr. Dumaine. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYnrMPNE7g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
