The dining room had a band - can you imagine!? A big one, too. I saw Al Hirt, Pete Fountain and Satchmo his own self! I was very small but I loved that sound Funny 'dat Scythe, me too! I used to love to watch Pete Fountain in the Mardi Gras parades with his band, the "Half-Fast Marching Club"! I also saw Al Hirt, and, of all people, Fats Domino at the Endymion Ball...opening up for (yack!) Tom Jones! I've got a really good drummer friend that still lives there that has been on (World)tour with Bryan Lee for the past couple of years, he's good too. I really miss the club scene of the French Quarter, 'specially the jazz room at the Royal Sonesta. The Monteleone...man, THAT brings back some memories! "Rollin' numbers, rock-n-rollin', got my Kiss records out!" |
