The Sunday of Tin’s first Jazz Fest was magically splendid. The day started off gorgeous and continued to be stunningly perfect all day long. We started by going over to a friend’s for a Jazz Fest brunch and Tin just wanted to go in that pool so bad, even though the water was ice cold, so in we went:

Then we made our way into the Fairgrounds and over to a friend’s camp near the Acura Stage where the best of New Orleans was playing – Dr. John, Alan Toussaint, Johnny Sansome – loads of fun. But Tin had one singular interest and that was whatever was hiding in Paula’s purse:

We caught the beginning of Levon Helms and then headed to Congo Square to hear Juan Luis Guerra y 440 and meet up with T. It was perfect music for being outside in the sunshine and wanting to shake your booty:

We detoured to the Mardi Gras Indians and then grabbed some crawfish bread and sausage and jalapeno bread and headed to see Gal Holiday & the Honky Tonk Revue in the Kid’s Tent – rockabilly is fun for any age. A man came by peddling African drums and we bought one for Tin and every kid in the tent had to have a wack at it.
