Heh. If I could get my husband to schlep himself over there with his quasi-klezmer trio, y’all would have a clarinet, a bass clarinet, a fiddle, and an accordion to kick off Endymion and serenade its neutral ground-camping devotees – or at least rock your house like it’s 5769…

The cruel irony of Muniz..His right hand man is one of the reasons many houses in my Neighborhood are still unoccupied and rotting. He and his wife refuse to fix the houses till they are sure they Neighborhood is coming back.

I have a question not sure how to ask so will just ask a friend of mine who i have since lost track of called Chris R was in a band called the Troublemakers with Helen Hills husband Paul. my question is do you knowif the band ever released a cd? I loved thier music and wanted to hear some the other day. thanks in advance and sorry to bother

on topic i am glad to hear mid city route is being used again i hope all the parades can go back to their routes i missed the local routes that went through mid city where i grew up though it seemed before the storm even alot had moved thier route or were thinking of it

I’ll believe it when I see it. As much as I like being able to say I told you so, I’d love to be wrong on this one. But I think Muniz is trying to pressure the city and we’ll still some effort to either keep Endymion uptown or move the Saturday day parades to Mid-City. Like I said, I’d love to be wrong.

Ed B:
We might be up for a Mardi Gras gig. Those are always a fun time.
Our band, COOT, is playing at Tipitina’s on Nov 15 — come check us out and you can see if you want to hear more.
You can contact me privately (I assume you’ll have my email from this post) if you’re interested.

Well, if you’re able to gather enough people for a horn section it’ll give me enough reason to come down for a visit with my trumpet in hand.

Like I said, it’s a whole different scene where we live. The territoriality is not really an issue once you cross Jeff Davis. I’d say we’ll be luck to muster a good crowd, given the depopulated state of our area. And between Broad and Claiborne I bet it gets mighty thin.

So neither of you has a sitar? What about a zither?

Actually my experience is that they are worse in Mid-City… at least near the beginning of the route.

I just hope they haven’t taught the Uptown crowds too much about how not to share.

Does it make me a bad person that I live Uptown and I’m so glad to hear that it’s gone?

And are Endymion fans so territorial in Mid-City? It’s a parade, not a land run (thought I would throw in that Oklahoma reference for you Bart, since we were both born there).
