| Hall and Oates |
No, that isn't something we ate. The Creole String Beans
were the opening act we saw at Jazz Fest today.
I mention them because they were fantastic and made us realize that the
headliners at the fest maybe aren't necessarily the best acts. Some of the unknown bands on the smaller
stages are just as good or better than the big acts. Of course, Irma Thomas and Aaron Neville were
great as promised. The group with the
most fans that we saw (on the second stage) was clearly Hall and Oates. They were good and well received, but for us
the 80s music was a bit dated. Basically
they were just okay for us.

Jazz Fest isn't all music.
We shared a feast with Steve and Megan including Crawfish, Cochon de
Lait po’ boys and Crawfish Monica. Absolutely delicious!!! We also were able to walk a bit to look some
of the crafts and a fry bread demonstration. We think we found the secret
to taking it easy in the Big Easy. We went
early, drove and paid to park at one of the local schools who do it as a
fund-raiser. That saved a lot of waiting for cabs and didn't require much
walking. We were out in no time. We brought our chairs and parked them at the
second stage and used them all day. The
weather was sunny and the mud was gone, so all in all it was a great experience
for us.
