We had a New Orleans night at my convention I just went to a couple of weeks ago in FL. They had King cake cupcakes for at the dessert table. They all had plastic babies on top. A gal that her husband is on our industry, she's from Norway originally. They live in the Houston area now. I was talking to her when I went and got a cupcake to try. She was floored when I told her about real King cakes in NOLA about the baby being in the cake! She couldn't understand it! I was cracking up!!🤣🤣🤣

Hey there Candy, Woo and everyone! Far be it from me to suggest turning on *any* other station than WFMU and its streams, but this here gang might want to know that from 11 to 5 Eastern time today (i.e, when the CCC ends), WWOZ, the world’s second-best radio station, is presenting six (6!) hours of vintage Ernie K-Doe radio shows. So if you feel like boining, tune in.

Yep, I've tuned in to his show a bunch! They also had her interview and show during the day that day on another show. That's the one I heard it live on. The interview wasn't live, but it was that day show. I used to listen on Thursday nights to DJ Swamp Boogie, I think he was called. He moved back to FL a couple of years ago. His show was fantastic!

Leo is one of my all time favorite guitarists, with Steve Cropper, Jimmy Nolen, Mickey Baker, and Teeny Hodges. Was he playing with his clean funky tone (a la early Meters) or his "fusion" tone? Not as much of a fan of the latter.
