Hello All,
Tuesday 13 is Mardi Gras in New Orleans... I'm not big on the drunken party aspect for which the holiday is famous. What I do like is the sounds of Mardi Gras here; in particular the rhythm of the music. From the School marching bands to the Indians, the night clubs, Speakers blaring out the windows... The city is rocking to some wild syncopation... Beats all over, reliably falling into the pocket. Impossible not to " shake that thang." I'm a bit infected with it
Might sound crazy, But I'm trying to incorporate some of that rhythmic feel into my version of fingerpicking the blues. All on a Mardi Gras Day as performed by The Wild Magnolias below is one example...
Wishin Y'all the Spirit of the day.. Cares Forgotton, Happy Mardi Gras !
Jeff
