Woke up early for walk with JR. Looking overcast, ominous. And the rains came, pouring steadily until about 2pm when, peering outside from our lunch bar,13 Monahan, we took note that the rain ceased. Off to the Fest! Lots of mud, but the crowd deals with it.
First stop, Wayne Toups& the Zydecajuns; Wayne informs the crowd this is his 20th year at the Fest. Good zydecowith a rock slant, crowd favorite.
Off to see Marva Wright in the Blues Tent; ok, but a little disappointing after hearing her cd.
Short stint with local band Galactic.
JR/JK catch most of the Allen Toussaint session. Wonderful. Looking almost elegant in suit and tie at the piano, but good and funky backed by a great band and two backup singers. BD/MG find Walter Wolfman & the Roadmasters and come back with rave reviews.
Elvis Costello bounds onto the stage and launches into "Watching the Detective".
Finish up with Ike Turner. Ike is in fine voice and attire. First song we catch is "Rocket 88". |
