New Orleans
by Charles E MinshallA long time ago,
I visited New Orleans,
A long time before
It became New Oileans.
I went dancing
On a river boat cruise,
I danced to Jazz men
Playing the blues.
My visit there
Was full of delights,
Though I had to wear
My Navy whites. 09/02/2010 Posted on 09/03/2010

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 09/04/10 at 02:36 PM Three cheers for the survivability of "the big easy." One of my favourite movies, A Love Song For Bobby Long, takes place and was filmed there; pre-Katrina. Thanks for the well worded reminder! |

Chris: Bobby Long is a GREAT MOVIE! |
