A celebrated Chef, celebrity musician-turned-hospitality director, and an award-winning farm joined Food Farms and Chefs Radio Show this week.

It all began toward the end of a rollicking rehearsal when between songs the guys started talking about what they planned to do in the week ahead. Danny mentioned that lately he had been getting out early to take his walks in the morning before the heat set in. That prompted Charlie to start singing that Fats Domino song, “I'm walkin', yes, indeed, and I'm talkin' ‘bout you ‘n' me…”. Well, Danny — who by anybody's definition is a walking jukebox — started playing the old tune. Sam and Jack quickly picked up the vibe. Charlie reached for the banjo to add a little pepper to the pot while Randy searched his memory bank for the words and melody.Suddenly the song just started arranging itself. Click here to give it a spin.About the SongFats Domino wrote “I'm Walkin'” in 1957, working with his frequent collaborator Dave Bartholomew.It became Domino's third release in a row to reach No. 1 on the R&B chart, where it stayed for six weeks.Flashback: How Fats Became FatsDown in New Orleans in 1947, bandleader Billy Diamond heard a stocky 19-year-old French Creole lad named Antoine Dominique Domino playing at a backyard barbecue. Diamond was so impressed with the pianist that he hired him for his band, The Solid Senders, booking him to play with his crew at the Hideaway Club in the Crescent Club's Ninth Ward, where he would earn the princely sum of $3 a week.Two years later, Antoine — whom by then Diamond had christened “Fats” — was still at the Hideaway when he was discovered by former trumpeter Dave Bartholomew, the New Orleans A&R man for Imperial Records, a fledgling independent label out of Los Angeles.The PartnershipThe two partnered up and started working together. Soon, they had refashioned a number called “Junker's Blues” (an old New Orleans song about heroin addiction) into a tune they called “The Fat Man.” Initially, folks at Imperial hated it; however, they warmed to it considerably when it became an immediate hit, selling a million copies after its December 1949 release.Today "The Fat Man" often is called the very first rock 'n' roll record. Musicologist Ned Sublette says the song in fact was rock and roll before that term was even coined.Critics say Domino staked out new musical territory by playing a stripped-down and more aggressive boogie-woogie piano with a series of hot triplets and snare-like backbeats.Curiously, Fats himself, though, was not convinced that his work was of a new genre. Years later — in 1956 — he commented, “What they call ‘rock and roll' is rhythm and blues, and I've been playing it for 15 years in New Orleans."Meanwhile, “The Fat Man” was the beginning of a beautiful friendship with Bartholomew. In the mid-1950s, Dave and Fats wrote more than 40 hits for Imperial, including the Billboard No. 1 pop chart hit “Ain't That a Shame,” as well as “Blue Monday,” “I'm In Love Again” and “Whole Lotta' Loving.”And of course — eight years into their collaboration — came that kicky “I'm Walkin'.”Crossing OverThat particular song also solidified Fats Domino's crossover appeal when it peaked at No. 4 on the pop singles chart.Later that same year, Ricky Nelson covered it on an episode of his mom and dad's hit television series, The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet. Subsequently, Rick's 1957 single also reached No. 4 on the pop chart as well as No. 10 on the R&B chart.Sixty-two years later, Fats' original Imperial Records release was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Jay and Clifton sit around the camp fire and dream of a quirkier time soundtracked by Havalina Rail Co.'s debut album!

This week we welcome Dennis Stroughmatt! Known today as a master French Creole fiddler, Dennis Stroughmatt was raised with a love for the music of Bob Wills, Ray Price, Tony Booth, Johnny Bush, Spade Cooley, Wade Ray, and Darrell McCall by his father Jack Stroughmatt. Jack was an avid music buff with thousands of records in a collection that dated to the 1930s. When Dennis began to recognize the music that surrounded him, it was the sound of twin fiddle and steel guitar (as well as a driving horn section) that got him excited and bopping in the middle of the living room floor. With time and different moves, Dennis eventually became enamored with the French Creole music that was local to southern Illinois and southeast Missouri...but that Honky Tonk sound was every present, always in the back of his mind and his heart. The chance meeting of the legendary fiddler and singer Wade Ray would rekindle that feeling and remind Dennis that Western Swing was still in him. After the passing of Wade, Dennis would again passionately return to French Creole and then Cajun fiddling as his professional focus....but the sounds of his childhood never let go. Fast forward to the present....Dennis is still enjoying French Creole and Cajun fiddling...but the time to "swing it" is now and his focus on Honky Tonk and Western Swing has never been sharper. Ready to put his study with Wade Ray, Hadley J. Castille, and Buddy Spicher into play....Dennis Stroughmatt, The Honky Tonk Fiddler, is here! Also a strong vocalist in the Ray Price and Tony Booth style, Dennis is ready to hear from you........... For more information, visit his website: HonkyTonkFiddle.com

Sometime in the early 1700's, probably a few years before the 1718 founding of New Orleans as the colonial seat of government, a French settler selected this site for the fulfillment of his aspirations. It was he who planted the twenty-eight live oak trees in two rows of fourteen each, eighty feet apart, to form an avenue of trees, a quarter mile in length leading to the Mississippi River.Back in the early 19th century, around 1836, the land that is now Oak Alley was acquired by a French Creole named Jacques Telesphore Roman. But back then, it wasn't known as Oak Alley; it was called Bon, Séjour SEDGOR which in French means "good living" – a pretty fitting name for what they hoped this place would become.This magnificent mansion would have made local society weak at the knees! Yet it also held a dozens of enslaved who were the private property of the plantation owner.Is this place haunted?We did not have access to the main house, but we stayed in cottages nestled at a distance.In our investigation we DID capture a voice that answered our question.We were in one of the 100 year old cottages.You will hear more about this in one of our upcoming episodes where we will talk about the experiences we had during our New Orleans trip.LOVE OUR WORK?Consider supporting our work by buying us a "cup of coffee" https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenataORbecome a Grand Poobah Patreon supporter, and join our inner circle of craziness!https://www.patreon.com/anneandrenataJoin us on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcastP.S.

As the AI revolution continues to unfold, deep fakes are on the rise, and alarmingly, over 90% of deepfake victims are women. Amber Mac has been following AI and in particular deep fakes closely and joins me today to discuss how and where it's created and distributed, the damage it can cause, and what we can do about it. This is an important discussion all women need to take seriously. Canadians throw away over 3 million tonnes of plastic waste every year and only 9% is recycled while the rest ends up in our landfills, waste-to-energy facilities or the environment. Kayli Dale and Jacquie Hutchings founded Friendlier to help stem the tide of this environmental nightmare, by drastically reducing the use of single use plastics in restaurants. Anne Brodie joins me with entertainment and this week we take a look at Twice Colonized which follows Inuit lawyer and sealskin clothes designer Aaju Peter over seven years, the story of Joseph Bologne AKA Chevalier, a French Creole violinist, composer, conductor and fencer in Paris at the time of Marie Antoinette and the French Revolution, and Mrs. Davis, a fun, smart, and action-packed movie starring Betty Gilpin. Last month, Dr. Mita Manna joined me on behalf of mbctime.ca to discuss metastatic breast cancer or mbc for short, to provide valuable information for those either living with mbc or who know someone with mbc. This month we're joined by Karima Jessani. Karima is from Ontario, is a wife and mother to three, and has been living with metastatic breast cancer since 2013. Karima is here to share insight into her battle with this illness and the common misconceptions surrounding breast cancer. Money is never too tight to mention around her. In fact, the only way to make it through these troubling times is to talk about every aspect of our finances. That's why I invited Jess and Colleen from Two Girls Investing to join me today to share their tips for riding out this economic storm we find ourselves in. Finally Tara Maclean recently released her bestselling debut memoir "Song of the Sparrow," which has received critical acclaim from numerous artists and publications. Alongside the book, Tara also released an accompanying album which is a collection of reimagined past work and new material. She joins me to share a little bit of the story behind the book and the album before we play the single "Lay Here in the Dark.” for you.

LAGNIAPPE LAN-yap noun: A French Creole word that means 'a little extra'. We discovered our two cultures have this word in common, so we absolutely had to use it for our bonus episodes!In our Winter Lagniappe, Ben and NiNi break down the shows we will be, won't be and may be watching in 2023. Will NiNi return to Taiwanese BL? Will Ben get his watchlist down under 50? Will this finally be the year Summerdaze comes out? Nobody knows what the future holds, but the speculation is always fun.

People who come to New Orleans as visitors often spend most of their time in the French Quarter and pack their stay with excessive indulgence. They start drinking way earlier in the day than they do at home. They stay out way later at night than they do at home. And they eat meal after meal of New Orleans' specialty dishes, laden with cream, butter, and fried everything. If you talk to any of these folks on their way out of town, they'll typically look at you with the kind of reverence normally reserved for endurance sports champions, and say something like, “Man, I don't know how you live here.” We who live here tend to respond with the explanation that the French Quarter is filled tourists. Locals don't eat, drink and party like that.  Have you been to Arnaud's restaurant in the French Quarter? They've been there since 1918 and built their reputation on serving a vast menu of French Creole fine dining - including 9 different oyster appetizers, 51 seafood entrees, 40 different vegetable sides, including 16 different types of potatoes. Arnaud's is massive. It's an amalgamation of what was originally 13 different buildings. There's a jazz bistro, two bars, and the main dining room seats 950 people. Yes, 950. And here's the kicker. The place is typically packed. With locals. Don't tell your tourist friends who you're trying to impress that you live an upright, healthy lifestyle, but there's more than a good chance you or someone you know has plans to go to Arnaud's - for a rehearsal dinner, a wedding, or just because it's Friday. Since 1918 Arnaud's has been owned and run by two families. First the family of the founder and namesake, Arnaud Cazenave, and since 1978 by members of the Casbarian family. The current Casbarians are brother and sister Archie Jr and Katie, and their mom Jane. French Creole fine dining is all well and good, but you can't eat like that every day. And especially if you're an athlete. Not just a professional athlete. Anyone who takes fitness seriously also takes their diet seriously. If you're a professional athlete, you have access to dietitians and nutritionists who craft specific meal plans for you - to maximize your strengths, and help bolster any deficiencies you might naturally have. For the rest of us, here's some good news. You no longer have to figure out your sports diet on Google. You can download an app called Eat 2 Win, the product of a company called My Sports Dietitian. My Sports Dietitian is set up to give everyone in sports – from high school coaches to individual amateur athletes – the same access to specialized dietary and nutrition advice the pros get. The co-founder of My Sports Dietitian and the Eat 2 Win app is Ronnie Harper. We hear a lot these days about work/life balance. The acknowledgement that there's more to life than work and money. The point being, if you want to be happy, you need to prioritize happiness. Apparently, the rest of the country just figured out what we've known for generations in New Orleans. It's part of the reason living here is so attractive. And so different from anywhere else in the US. We don't think there's anything strange about wearing a costume, or going to work on Monday morning and partying with our boss and colleagues at The Maple Leaf on Monday night. Similarly, we accept as matter of fact that we can live a healthy life, subscribe to a sports diet from My Sports Dietitian, and occasionally indulge ourselves with dinner and drinks at Arnaud's without having a melt-down guilt trip about it. Because, in New Orleans, that's life. In any other city Archie Casbarian Jr, and Ronnie Harper might be regarded as being at opposite ends of the spectrum. In New Orleans, they're two sides of a coin. Probably a doubloon. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza in the NOLA Brewing Taproom.

The Coming of Org is a short story by the St. Lucian writer, John R. Lee. It highlights a St Lucian folk story with most of its dialogue in French Creole.In the story, Tison, the main character, is a popular radio DJ in Saint Lucia. He has grown up, like many others in his village, hearing of characters from ancient folklore passed down from generation to generation. He lives his life as a carefree womanizer, until the day he comes face to face with Org. At the climactic moment of his experience, the folk culture collides with his modern life and he “meets his Org”.

Today's story is a legend of Pirate Alley in New Orleans—Reginald Hicks. Many, many years ago, a beautiful French Creole girl and a young pirate fell madly and deeply in love.

Madison authors, topics, book events and publishers Stu Levitan welcomes Edward Ball, his latest book is the most extraordinary family memoir I have ever read, Life Of A Klansman: A Family History In White Supremacy, from the good people at Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Demographers tell us that about 137 million white Americans – more than half the current white population of the country – are direct descendants of members of the Ku Klux Klan, mostly from the second wave, from 1915 to 1925. Edward Ball's link to the Klan goes back even further. His grandmother's grandfather was Polycarp Constant Lecorgne, a downwardly mobile carpenter of French Creole descent born in New Orleans in 1832. He served – none-too-honorably —  as a Confederate soldier during the Civil War and then in its immediate aftermath joined the first generation of the Ku-Klux and other white terrorist groups in their murderous and successful effort to “redeem” their heritage, end Reconstruction and reestablish white supremacy. The story of Constant Lecorgne is a profoundly important microhistory, showing how the life of this very ordinary, even mediocre person reflects an entire culture that helped change history. Because the tragic reality is that, through men like Constant Lecorgne, the South snatched victory from the jaws of defeat; the Klan was not put down; the Klan faded because it won, preserving white supremacy for another hundred years. It is a story Edward Ball is exceptionally, even uniquely, qualified to tell. His first book, for which he won the 1998 National Book Award for Nonfiction, was Slaves in the Family, an account both of his father's family, major slaveholders in South Carolina for 170 years, and the histories of ten Black families once enslaved on their rice plantations. His other books include The Sweet Hell Inside: The Rise of an Elite Black Family in the Segregated South; The Inventor and the Tycoon: A Gilded Age Murder and the Birth of Moving Pictures; The Genetic Strand: Exploring A Family History Through DNA, and Peninsula of Lies: A True Story of Mysterious Birth and Taboo Love. The recipient of a Public Scholar Award from the National Endowment for the Humanities and several fellowships, he has also taught at Yale University and the State University of NY, and joins us today from his home in New Haven. It is a great pleasure to welcome to Madison Bookbeat, Edward Ball.

What  should you share on social media?  Destination: Seychelles, Travel Mistake, Travel Tip What ways should you be careful in terms of sharing about your travels on social media? What should you be careful about for the content you post and your replies? Learn about the country of Seychelles It’s in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of East Africa.  One thousand miles from the coast of Kenya, more than 100 small islands, north of Madagascar. First language is French Creole, followed by English. Some language issues. Lush vegetation, Coco de mer or sea coconuts, Tortises, scuba diving, nude beaches, mini mokes, bed and breakfasts, oxen instead of cars on many islands. I would recommend visiting the island, La Digue Today’s Mistake-Missing my flights. In Seattle, I slept through my flight and woke up after it had left. In Chicago, I was stuck in a cab too long and missed my first solo flight to San Diego. In Tahiti, I missed my flight by 12 hours. With a paper ticket in hand, the travel agent had written down 1pm, but the flight really left at 1am. And I missed the boat to get there, so I had taken a flight just to get to the airport that day! Don’t make these mistakes, but if you do, you will still be ok. Take the next flight you can. Talk to the gate agent at the airport and try to be patient and kind to others while you go. The journey is part of the adventure and how you handle it makes a difference. Eating out.  What should you eat when on the road?  Bread is always a good food to eat, and usually fresh fruits, especially when you peel the skin first. Ask first.  If you don’t understand the menu, you look at what other people are eating. Maybe someone in the kitchen speaks your language. In China, I had to point at what other people were eating and ask for that in sign language.  The local water likely has bacteria, and locals have the immunity and you don’t. Don’t rinse your mouth or brush your teeth with it. Carry pills to treat the water. Carry a few ounces of water in a small bottle. You don’t want to be sick.

FOAMed is just not for English speakers. We love a bit of FOAMote (FOAM other than English) At SMACC I set out to meet the international visitors to find out about their version of Critical Care. And let me tell you, the Chilean version is pretty impressive. Chile is special. The longest country in the world with the driest desert, the highest lakes, the highest volcano, a huge mountain range making it strangely isolated and then they have Patagonia. The health system is highly developed. Emergency medicine has been growing for 25 years and there are conspicuous local and imported protagonists to thank. https://developingem.com/2014/08/14/presenter-profile-billy-mallon/ If you only read one article to accompany this podcast let it be this one: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0716864017300299 These days the home grown talent is taking up the reins and I was lucky to meet 4 of them at SMACC. Chile probably has the most high functioning health system in South and Central America. Based on a solid economy and a long history of professional advocacy the discipline of Emergency Medicine is now formally recognised by the Ministry of Health and by the rest of the world. Chile could become a power house of critical and emergency care in the Spanish speaking world. Do not underestimate these people. Cesar, Loreto, Manuela and Josefina came to SMACC in Sydney where I was waiting to meet them. Have a listen to what this group have to say. Challenges do, of course, remain. Chile has long since made the “epidemiological transition” to 1st world pathologies. The delivery of care still varies depending on location. Santiago is very well served but the regional and rural areas less so. They have robust public health and vaccination programs, but there is a resurgence of some infectious diseases in part related to population movement. Their economy is strong and their government has been increasingly willing to take on the responsibilities that go with being a regional power. Their borders are long and they have had a huge increase in asylums seekers, refugees and other immigration in recent years. Not insignificant numbers of French Creole speakers have come from Haiti, perhaps related to the presence of Chilean peace keepers. Mass immigration is new. The challenges it brings are huge. It’s a steep learning curve. But, let’s face it, we like steep learning curves! Some links, links are good; The App Josefina Larraín spoke about is Reanimapp ( @reanimapp ) The city with the large indigenous population is Temuco. The indigenous language spoken in the hospital is Mapudungun. “Do not underestimate the South American countries.” So said a wise woman from Santiago.

They're shared by campfires and told in the nighttime in order to maximize their effectiveness. While the majority of the tales are nothing more then stories meant to scare, sometimes they originate from something real, something very frightening. These are 4 extremely terrifying and scary real hauntings. #4 The Myrtles Plantation Mention the American South and you'll picture large plantation houses. These iconic structures embody the beauty of the American home and many also hold a unique past. One such home is the Myrtle's Plantation.Built in 1796 by lawyer, Whiskey Dave Bradford, the plantation was passed down to his daughter Sara and her husband Judge Clark Woodruff. The property has withstood the test of time and has seen wars come and go; switched between multiple owners; and also experienced multiple deaths. It's these deaths and the souls of the spirits that remain that has dubbed the Myrtle Plantation as "one of the most haunted homes" in America. The home is said to be haunted by about 12 ghosts, some of which died on the property, while others are strongly associated to the home and families that lived there. One of the most prominent stories is that of a servant slave named Chloe. #3 Tale Of Resurrection Mary Chicago is a large city with it’s fair share of haunted houses and creepy graveyards. But one terrifying ghost haunts the highways of the area and she is known locally as Resurrection Mary. More than three dozen people have encountered, Seen and even spoke with Mary over the years and they all report similar accounts. On such is that of Jerry Paulus in 1939 who was at a local dance hall when he spotted a beautiful girl. He approached her and they spoke, laughed and danced for hours. He described her as rather quiet and also noticed she was cold to the touch. #2 La Laurie House in New Orleans One of the most famous places in New Orleans, the La Laurie House has lived on in infamy, not just for it’s beautiful historical structure but also for what went on inside. Owned by Madame Delphine MacCarthy, who was better known as Madame La Laurie after she remarried, the house sits on a corner in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The family first moved in - in 1832. Madame La Laurie was among the most influential French-Creole ladies in the city, known for her business skills, beauty and wealth. Her two daughters were among the finest dressed girls in the city and her family was well respected. #1 Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery The Bachelor's Grove Cemetery looks like any ordinary cemetery. Worn out gravestones peek from the Earth here and there while the surroundings area is covered with trees. The grounds around the cemetery were once home to immigrant settlers. It's asserted that the first burials there happened around the 1840s. However, others suggest that the land had been used as a burial site for German immigrant workers who got killed on the job as early as the 1830s. The area is also believed to be a favorite dumping ground for Chicago mobsters during the 1930s and 40s. A small lagoon in the back of the was said to be the place for hit men to kill and dump snitches or anybody that crossed them. So there were 4 EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND SCARY REAL HAUNTINGS

On February 29th, 1918, a French wine salesman named Arnaud Cazenave opened Arnaud s Restaurant in New Orleans French Quarter. The extravagant, eccentric "Count" as he dubbed himself spent decades expanding the restaurant in size and scope, creating an institution specializing in French Creole cuisine. One hundred years later, the legendary restaurant remains an institution, with endless stories to tell. On this Louisiana Eats Quick Bite, we sit down with the Casbarian family, for an intimate look at Arnaud s amazing history. Archie Casbarian convinced Germaine Wells, the Count s eccentric daughter to hand over the keys to Arnaud s in 1978, beginning a grand new era of fine Creole dining rivaling the Count s. Sadly, Archie Casbarian passed away in 2009. His wife Jane and their two offspring, Katie and Archie, Jr. remember the indelible mark Archie made on the restaurant and tell family stories of their forty years at Arnaud s.

While I do love books that deal with important and often heavy issues, several people in my family are battling major health issues that are pretty heavy. So I’m looking for a book to escape from all that when I need a little pick me up. I recently read The Invisible Library and loved it! Where’d you go Bernadette, Ready Player One, The Night Circus, and Harry Potter are some of my favorites. I want something I can spend some time with so please no short stories or graphic novels. I can’t wait to hear what you recommend! --Jessica   2. For a trip in April! Hi, Get Booked! The orchestra I perform with is going on tour to Peru, Argentina and Uruguay next month and I’d love to read a novel or two set in the countries where we’ll be. I’m also writing my dissertation, so lighter, fun reads would be appreciated. Nothing supernatural please. Thank you! --Sarah   3. Hi, I’m looking for a good trilogy to read. I’m participating in a Litsy Reading Challenge and one of the categories is read a trilogy. It can be YA or not, preferably not. I really liked The Grisha trilogy. I tried the first in Blood of Eden series (The Immortal Rules) and didn’t care for it. I’ve read all the popular YA ones like hunger games, divergent, etc. My favorite genres are fantasy, mystery and Historical fiction. Thanks in advance! --Mikala   4. I'm participating in the read harder challenge and I'm a bit anxious just thinking about the true crime book. Could you recommend a nonviolent true crime book for anxious wimps like me? Maybe a heist or something? --Emily   5. Hi Ladies! My best friend's birthday in in three weeks and I'm stumped. I've exhausted my knowledge of big-gothic-isolated-house-psychological thrillers (her FAVORITE in all caps). I've given her Rebecca, The Haunting of Hill House, The Silent Companions, The Woman in Black, The Essex Serpent and most of Wilkie Collins. Creepy and / or serious is great, but odd or quirky is okay - her favorite movie is Clue, so an Edward Gorey vibe is great too. Thanks so much! --Madeleine   6. TIME SENSITIVE for EARLY APRIL. I’ll be going to the French Quarter in New Orleans for an academic conference this April (Fun fact: the academic conference coincides with both WWE’s Wrestlemania and the city’s French Quarter festival, so I can only imagine who my neighbors at the hostel will be!!). Could you recommend any books or authors to check out if I wanna get to know the city ahead of time? Personally, I don’t know where to start because Nola ticks so many of my interests: jazz, mysticism/magic (vampires, voodoo, graveyards tours etc.), black culture & history, French Creole & Cajun culture, great food…all wrapped up in a small city that remains to be beautiful post-Katrina. Thank you for answering everyone’s questions every episode!! --Jess   7. URGENT!!!! Please help! My brother in law is going on a month long rafting trip down the Grand Canyon and I want to get him a book to bring. He's a fan of Cormac McCarthy, Edward Abbey, western/mountain man stories, the classics. I think he would also enjoy interesting non-fiction. I would love to get him the perfect book to accompany in this adventure. Thank you!! --Joana Lau   Books Discussed Blood of a Thousand Stars by Rhoda Belleza The Beauty by Aliya Whitely The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness Death Going Down by Maria Angelica Bosco translated by Lucy Greaves The Hare by Cesar Aira Shades of Magic by VE Schwab The Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin (trigger warning: harm to children) The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice Post: books set in New Orleans Voodoo Dreams by Jewell Parker Rhodes Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert by Terry Tempest Williams Half An Inch of Water by Percival Everett

Her two daughters were among the finest dressed girls in the city and her family was well respected. The home on 1140 Royal Street was a hotspot for social activity. It was a three-story mansion that looked like a plain, boxy corner home from the outside, but inside it had lavish interiors with bright parlors sporting hundreds of candles and grand chandeliers. #1 Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery The Bachelor's Grove Cemetery looks like any ordinary cemetery.

So there were 4 EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND SCARY REAL HAUNTINGS With so many people experiencing such strange occurences it’s hard to believe that they could all be made up out of thin air. Perhaps, and possibly even more likley, Something is left behind here on earth, after someone has passed away.

The Blues Foundation Podcast - Season 1: Blues Hall of Fame    Fats Domino was born into a musical, French Creole family in the Lower 9th in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1928. His first language was Creole French.  His talents blossomed early. His musical gifts, along with his laid back and easygoing demeanor, created a lot of demand - everybody wanted to work with Fats.  He had his first hit by the time he was 21, and he invented New Orleans-style rock n roll with it. That 1949 hit for Imperial Records - "The Fat Man" - sold over a million copies by 1953 and is considered the first rock n roll record to achieve that feat. A succession of hits soon followed: "Ain't that a Shame", "Blueberry Hill", and "I'm Walkin'".  By the end of his career, Fats Domino had sold more records than any other 1950's rocker except for Elvis Presley.    Fats Domino inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2003.

We visit one of the world's last untamed natural and musical wildernesses: The Guyanas. Riding along bumpy jungle roads and in dugout canoes, Afropop producer Marlon Bishop travels from Suriname to French Guiana for the Transamazoniennes Festival, located in the remote border town of Saint-Laurent-Du-Maroni. We enjoy the region's fascinating cultural stew, where French Creole, Maroon, Amerindian, Hindu, Javanese, and Dutch elements all mingle together on the outer fringes of the Amazon and hear styles like kaseko, bigi pokoe, aleke and kawina. We'll speak with local stars Prince Koloni, Little Guerrier and Chris Combete, as well as visiting acts such as self-proclaimed "African gypsy" Wanlov the Kubolor and polyglot rap crew Nomadic Massive.

It began with an online plea for 150 Latter-day Saint volunteers with expertise in medicine, construction, and the French/Creole languages, all to fly to Haiti and help with relief and rebuilding after the massive earthquake.  Within hours emails and applications began pouring in by the thousands. In this edition you'll hear interviews and excerpts from the pre-flight meeting with Haitians, returned missionaries, Steve Studdert—the operation director, and other LDS members who will be reporting the efforts of this non-official group of church members giving their best to be anxiously engaged in helping the orphans, the injured, and the hungry in Haiti. That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull...
