Street Sounds of N’awlins
One of my favorite parts of New Orleans was the bands performing on the street. We ran into a couple of them several times in different parts of the French Quarter.

Upon inquiring, the musicians informed me that the band is named the “West Coast Ragtime Trash Hounds”.
This band is named “Yes Ma’am”. 5-0 was enforcing them to move from the street. I love how they just kept on playing.
