I've been working in New Orleans for a couple of months and finally got a day off to go to the Jazz Fest today. I have wanted to see Bonnie Raiit for a long time and finally go to do so.
It was great performance and everyone there got caught up in the music and enjoyed it. The finale was a mix of songs with the Horn & Sax section from Allen Touisant's Jazz Band along with the Queen of New Orleans soul Irma Thomas and Ivan Neville and John Cleary on keyboards.
There is nothing like live music to pull you in and lift your spirits.
I remembered Bonnie Raiit's album entitled Souls Alike. Almost all lyrics of her songs are very meaningful. But my favorite tract was God Was in the Water. I like very much the melody and lyrics of the song.
Jazz Fest is great! I was living in the N.O. area until this year, and I do miss the music events. Did you happen to catch George Thorogood and The Destroyers playing that same day?
