Threads and Tangents 2/21/23 - Mardi Gras

Today is Fat Tuesday, so this week's musical thread is Mardi Gras. The spirit of Mardi Gras is alive and well: the love of life, the enjoyment of music, food (even king cake), and a great drink. So, Laissez Les Bon Temp Rouler.

We'll hear songs from: Balfa Brothers, Marcia Ball/Irma Thomas/Tracy Nelson, Buckwheat Zydeco, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Dr John, Bo Dollis and The Wild Magnolias, Galactic, The Hawketts, Earl King & Professor Longhair, Neville Brothers, The Radiators, Rebirth Brass Band, and the subdudes.
