 Darling friends,
I am still recuperating from the downpour that JazzFest attendees experienced this weekend. It did not dampen our spirit but it was a déjà vu that brought back a lot of memories of past Fests of a decade ago.
Fortunately for us, we were able to enjoy wonderful music prior to the festival and after. I am looking forward to the performance at the Bombay Club of talented vocalist, Lillian Boutte, who is returning this Saturday from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Not to be missed. I also enjoyed seeing Lady B.J at the Carousel Bar of the Monteleone Hotel. This weekend, the Carousel Bar is presenting: Friday, May 2nd - New York City’s Bill Malikow,Saturday, May 3rd - Tom Mc Dermott & Evan Christopher and Sunday, May 4th - Don Vappie
On Tuesday, April 29, the Community Book Center is inviting everyone to an exceptional Art Exhibit Showcasing Beautiful & Rare Artwork from Haiti, including paintings, statues, metal art, leather masks and beaded art. The Opening Reception will be held from 5-9 p.m. at the Community Book Center, 2523 Bayou Road. For more information contact: Vera at 504-948-7323.
CNN journalist Anderson Cooper will be lecturing this Tuesday at Tulane’s McAlister Auditorium, 6823 St. Charles Avenue at 6 p.m. Free admission.
And speaking of books, I want to congratulate my dear friend, Dean M. Shapiro, on the publication of his new novel, The Eleventh Commandment. It is the suspense-filled fictionalized story of a reporter who goes undercover to expose a militant polygamist cult leader suspected in the deaths of a dozen or more followers and, in the process, risks his own life by falling in love with one of the cult leader’s wives. Dean will be doing book signings at local bookstores and libraries in the coming weeks and his book can be ordered through Barnes & Noble online. You can email him for more information at deanslist2@aol.com or call him at 376-8919.
On Tuesday, April 29 and Wednesday, April 30, the Seventh Annual Ponderosa Stomp will take place at the House of Blues.

Six blocks of Julia Street in the Warehouse District will be closed to vehicular traffic and turned into one large block party. Local restaurants will provide New Orleans’ favorite dishes, while bars set up along Julia Street will offer special drinks.

The New Orleans Museum of Art has initiated new evening hours one day a week. The Museum is now open every Wednesday from Noon until 8:00 pm. The adjacent Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden will be open from 10:00 am until 8:00 pm on Wednesdays as well. The Museum and Garden also are open Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The purpose of the extended hours is not only to make the Museum available in the evening for students and those who work during the day but to help to promote the many fine restaurants, both old and new, in the MidCity area. So after touring the Museum, visitors are encouraged to have dinner at an area restaurant. A list of MidCity participating restaurants will be available at the Museum.
During the Rodrigue Exhibition, through June 6, admission is $5.00 for Louisiana resident adults and $10 for non-resident adults. Visitors under 18 years are admitted free courtesy of The Helis Foundation. Museum Members are free at all times.

The mid-week musical smorgasbord continues on Thursday, May 1 with sets by two bands with Crescent City soul. The Iguanas developed their unique hybrid of Tex-Mex and R&B in the clubs of New Orleans. They are now known world wide as tasteful purveyors of sax-driven soul and blues. Paul Cebar, the closest thing to a native son who by accident of birth lives in the Midwest, brings his worldly groove to Canal Street as a highly anticipated opening act.
Chickie Wah Wah is located at 2828 Canal Street in the heart of Mid City. The phone number for more information is (504) 304-4714. The web site is chickiewahwah.com.

On Friday, May 2, the second weekend of Jazz Fest kicks off with the incendiary sounds of the Lee Boys. The sacred steel group hails from the same branch of the Pentecostal Church that produced Robert Randolph and other stars of the genre. Though now performing in the secular world, the Lee Boys bring all the strength, power and grace of the church to the nightclub stage. Groovesect, one of the most highly lauded instrumental combos to emerge from post-Katrina New Orleans, opens the show.
Chickie Wah Wah is located at 2828 Canal Street in the heart of Mid City. The phone number for more information is (504) 304-4714. The web site is chickiewahwah.com.
All shows begin around 10 PM.
