Laissez les bon temps rouler ... un peu tard! New Orleans's biggest holiday Mardi Gras happened this past Tuesday. And although we are supposed to be in the devotional abstinence of Lent, we're not observant and besides, our Mardi Gras celebration was pre-empted by our interview with Nicole Laurenne (which you should check out if you haven't already). Therefore on this week's Audio Ecotone, we're going to have a "Vendredi Gras" celebration of the music of NOLA, with selections from the Rebirth Brass Band, Irma Thomas, James Booker, Amanda Shaw, Better Than Ezra and a whole, whole lot more. So grab some boudin and beignets and tune in live on Friday at 3:00 pm Pacific Time on KDRT 95.7 in Davis or kdrt.org online. The show replays on Saturday at 6:00 pm and Tuesday at 7:00 am and will be available online for two weeks after broadcast on The Audio Ecotone program page.
