It appears that while we were dancing Mardi Gras, the President was singing in the White House. The difference between blues musicians and Cajun musicians is that the blues musicians say, “Babe, I am going to leave you,” whereas the Cajun musicians say, “Baby, I know you are going to leave me.”
Barack Obama might have done left me but he do sing, don’t he now? Iko!
I’m going to New Orleans, to see the Mardi Gras. I will see that Zulu king, down on St. Claude and Dumaine.

Mr President,
Now at my age I am not going to leave you!. That’s for sure!
Best,

More importantly, Trombone Shorty was there: http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/troy-trombone-shorty-andrews-to-perform-at-white-house-on-mardi-gras/2012/02/16/gIQAevSLIR_story.html
How I envy you this! Thanks for sharing some of the music.
That Professor Longhair cut (on the pink disc here) is truly ubiquitous – arguably the most important song!
