New Orleans, you know, where Music comes from

I left New Orleans three weeks ago this Thursday.
Last week, I went to a benefit in SF for the group that I had volunteered for while down in the Big Easy. Today I walked past a bar that was playing a song that had New Orleans in the lyrics. I didn't realize how many songs had New Orleans in the lyrics.

I hear Aaron Neville singing "Louisiana" on Democracy Now. My parents tell me about "The Battle for New Orleans" special that aired on PBS, I see Bush just visited the school that Common Ground helped to gut (I was there for it's reopening celebration). There is still a lot to do in New Orleans. A lot to overcome.
