Brother can you spare a dime?
We went last night to Mimi’s in the Marigny to take the boys to hear Gal Holiday and the Honky Tonk Revue. There was no cover and I told the boys what she had told me and that you trip over musicians in this town that is why they have to travel to make money. It’s crazy – I can’t imagine going anywhere in most cities and seeing the talent we have playing for free no less.
So while you’re here in New Orleans – do the world a favor – support your local musicians! Throw a little extra in the tip jar – most of them live hand to mouth.
