Staycations
We have been to the Quarter twice this weekend – yesterday after the St. Augustine event and today to grab breakfast and take advantage of the wonderful weather. We’ve almost decided to make a habit of this as Tin just comes alive when he hears live music – and it always starts at the French Quarter restaurant that is on the tip of Decatur and North Peter. Today that band was as enamored with him and he was with them. The bass player let Tin pluck the strings and put his hand on them while he played. The drum player threw him a little egg maraca to shake and the singer called his name. We then walked over to Jackson Square and heard a trombone and tuba player in front of the cathedral and had to go hook up with them. The trombone player said “Tin is in” and he loved Tin as much as Tin loved his trombone. We ended by watching a band playing on Royal complete with a tap dancer and it made for an awesome day.
Again with all the photographs taken of him playing with the big boys, they should give him a cut because he definitely helps with their tip jars.
It was great walking through the Quarter and dreaming about a future when we might turn our bayou house over to Tin and move into a nice condo in the Quarter. Meanwhile on the subject of found art, someone had thrown away this print and both T and I spotted it but I won out as it has elephants on it, which I collect:
