Music Monday ~ “Blues For New Orleans”
We leave for New Orleans later this week. This seems an appropriate choice for today’s music.
Music Monday ~ Do You Know… (Billie Holiday)
Yes, I DO know what it means. We will be in New Orleans soon and I’m looking forward to the music.
Music Monday ~ “It’s Raining” (Allen Toussaint)
