It’s Carnival time, and Professor Longhair is the only professor who counts.
Professor Zero did not post on February 20, 2006 – or if she did, Blogger has lost the post. I am glad I began transferring the archive to WordPress later that year, and I wish I had transferred it all.
Meanwhile, speaking of Tipitina, last night she hosted Papa Mali’s Supernatural Ball. Don’t you wish you’d been there?
Papa Mali’s 2nd Annual Supernatural Ball
…with special guests George Porter, Jr., Hot 8 Brass Band, John Mooney, Revolutionary Snake Ensemble, Groovesect, Glen David Andrews, and more. Papa Mali’s music has always occupied that unique space between the swamps of Louisiana and the juke joints of Mississippi, evoking spirits weaving through the air like curls of smoke, conjuring visions of snake handlers and tent revivals, spy boys and street parades. For his 2nd annual Supernatural Ball, Papa Mali has put together quite an impressive lineup of friends to join in the fun. The variety of funk, blues, soul, klezmer and gospel artists on this show’s bill is without comparison in this Mardi Gras season — a show like this will be talked about for many Carnivals to come!
Do we have to go home?
Axé.
