A professional performer and New Orleans teacher, Donald Lewis, Jr. has shared his stories with scores of Louisiana children over the decades atschools and libraries around the state. He's delighted New Orleans audiences in dozens of theatrical performances over the years. And many have heard his sonorous deep voice over the airwaves on WWOZ and WRBH 88.3 FM, Radio for the Blind and Print Handicapped. In this childhood music memory, Donald shares how his love of the stage first began. Donald was living in Texas when he was five or six years old, and he had the lead role in a performance of “She'll Be Coming around the Mountain." It was a little skit created just for kids. The children were dressed in cowboy hats and riding around on mop horses, and Donald was proud to belt out the lines of the song. It was that moment, in front of the audience, that he got the acting and performance bug! Donald did not want to leave the stage. After the performance was over, and at the end of the night while all the people for leaving the auditorium, Donald ran from his parents and went back to the stage to start his performance all over. Donald's mother had to scoop him up and pull him away from the stage. And that was Donald's first glorious introduction to the stage limelight.  Thanks, Donald, for sharing this fun childhood memory!!! Confetti Park is supported by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation and Music Rising at Tulane University.

There are countless myths and reports throughout human history of places where spirits come down to earth. Where the intangible meets the material world. In the US, there are few places that better demonstrate this crossroads than New Orleans. People have tried to explain how the joy of living here triumphs over everyday things like dysfunction and potholes, with slogans like “The Big Easy,” and “The city that care forgot.” One of the locations you can witness this triumph of the spirit is the corner of Napoleon Avenue and Tchoupitoulas Street. No, not Rouse’s. Across the street. At Tipitina’s music club. Keith Spera from the Times Picayune has called Tipitina’s, “a sacred space.” Dr. John called it, “The church of the funky saints.” And Jazz Fest co-founder Quint Davis has referred to it as, “The Vatican of New Orleans music.” Tipitina’s was founded in 1977 by a bunch of young people who knew nothing about business, music promotion, running a restaurant, a bar, or a radio station – it was the original home of WWOZ. These folks just wanted a place that celebrated New Orleans musicians and gave them a stage to play on - and a guarantee they’d actually get the money that people paid to come see them. In 2018, history repeated itself when the members of the New Orleans band Galactic bought Tipitina’s. Musicians are not typically known for their firm grasp of the music business, but the doors are still open and the revenue streams have diversified, including a record business called Tipitina’s Record Club. Robert Mercurio is the bass player in Galactic, part owner of the legendary Tipitina’s music club, and Co-Founder of Tipitina’s Record Club. Besides music, there’s another strand of New Orleans where art meets commerce, and where, literally, the rubber meets the road. Motorcycle design and manufacture. It’s a lot less celebrated than our place in the history of music, but if you know a thing or two about motorbikes you’ll know my other lunch guest today, J.T. Nesbitt. J.T designed and was part of the team that produced motorcycles called The Wraith, the G2 Hellcat and The Magnolia Special, for Confederate Motorcycles, and later an electric bike, The Curtiss One. They’re all elegant works of art and powerful machines. Today, JT is designing and building a new line of bikes under the banner of his own company, Bienville Studios. Currently he’s building a bike called the Magnolia 4. We find out all about it in this edition of Out to Lunch but for now all you need to know is Jay Leno has one on order. The Tipitina’s logo with the half-peeled banana is a New Orleans icon. For locals and live music lovers everywhere it’s as recognizable as the Nike swoosh or the Mercedes hood ornament. Nike and Mercedes spend millions of dollars each year to keep their brands in front of people. Tipitina’s brand is spread mostly by people paying them – to buy a T-shirt or baseball cap. The lesson being, when you have a product people genuinely care about and cherish, it sells itself. The same philosophy can be applied to the motorbikes coming out of Bienville Studios. Robert Mercurio and J.T. Nesbitt are both at the helm of very different but equally unique and valuable New Orleans pieces of art and commerce. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

The Boudin Man joins Howie and Scully in the King Room to discuss DJ'ing on WWOZ, restarting his father's old record label, and the importance of giving Ninth Ward musicians their due.  He tell us how as a child he spent many nights recording bands with father for Houma Records. (His mother send the kids to keep pops from being a "rascal." ) He shares how he fell in love with radio at a young age and how it taught him that money ain't everything.  He tells of his love and admiration for legendary WWOZ DJ Billy Dell and his ongoing archival project of radio show "Records from the Crypt." (We hear a little from Billy himself.) He says BJ's Lounge is his favorite music venue because "they take care of the musicians." Thanks dude!AJ provides us with three great 1960's tracks from the Houma Records reissue compilation which you can find at Euclid Records New Orleans or Good Earth Records in Bay St. Louis.

An excerpt of Rare's tribute to the late great musician Clarence "Frogman" Henry on WWOZ.   Music by Clarence "Frogman" Henry  If you are interested in taking my one week podcasting workshop you can find the details at    

 Relationships with people are an easy indicator of how far our own pages have turned.  When I first came to New Orleans, I snuck off from my friends and went to the "other" side of Bourbon Street.  Down on the opposite end stood the gay clubs and everything else that came along with them. There was an energy around that I had never experienced before.I knew in those first moments that THIS was my new scene. A short time after, I met long time friend, Cousin Dimitri. No, he wasn't just my cousin, he was everyone's cousin! He was and still is a beloved D.J. at the iconic radio station, WWOZ. If you have never heard of this radio station then I strongly urge you to go to www.wwoz.org and you can live stream it. Cousin Dimitri has been around to see me grow up, fall in love, get married, have kids and everything in between. He even came to Douglas and I's wedding. I hope you enjoy listening  to our times gone by.

Even in a city known for its eccentrics, Ernie K-Doe was in another dimension. The New Orleans musician always knew — and said, loudly — that he was special. And for one week in a life of wild ups and downs, he managed to pierce the national consciousness with a chart-topping hit: 1961's "Mother in Law."The man born Ernest Kador sometimes claimed he wrote "Mother-in-Law" — but he claimed a lot of things. In fact, Allen Toussaint composed and produced the song, and, after a few unsatisfactory takes, literally threw it away. It was rescued from oblivion by one of the backup singers at the session."He thought it was just a delightful song, and he took it out of the trash can when I took a short break, and went over to K-Doe and said, 'Look, try this again, man,'" Toussaint says. "K-Doe did just that, and I'm so glad he did."The song was dismissed as a danceable novelty. But Ben Sandmel, author of the new biography Ernie K-Doe: The R&B Emperor of New Orleans, says it was deeper than that: angry, and smoldering."In 1961, to say that your mother-in-law was 'sent from down below' was kind of pushing the standards, I guess, of what was considered to be acceptable," Sandmel says. "In a time of meaningless bubblegum lyrics, this one had an edge to it. And it was real."It was one of four songs that Toussaint and K-Doe recorded in one three-hour session."We certainly had a good time together. I wrote so much for him, and I was highly inspired," Toussaint says. "He was [good at] promoting himself. He would get out there; he wouldn't watch the grass grow."When Toussaint went into the army, K-Doe continued recording, without much success. The two got back together in the early 1970s, but none of the songs they produced became hits outside of New Orleans. Within their hometown, however, many of their tunes have become standards. Guitarist Ernie Vincent, who has played them in his own band and others, got to know K-Doe in the '70s."He was strictly positive about his self-ability," Vincent says. "He always said, 'I'm cocky, but I'm good.' And believe me, he was good."But he also had some tough times. The British invasion's version of R&B became more popular than homegrown music, and by the mid-'70s, K-Doe had pretty much dropped out. He drank a lot, and many people remember seeing the once-dapper musician living on the streets.K-Doe made a comeback in the 1980s on the New Orleans station WWOZ. David Freedman is now the station's general manager."You never knew what the next thing was going to be out of this guy's mouth. It was like he was in a trance state," Freedman says. "You had to kind of enter into it, and then as you began to enter into that crazy universe, you'd just kind of surrender to it [and] it all made sense."K-Doe's run on the radio ended in the late '80s, though cassette tapes of his shows continued to be collected and played around the world. In the early 1990s, his life took another turn when an old friend, Antoinette Dorsey Fox, took him in. They got married, and she created a new look for her husband, replete with capes, shiny suits and feathered hats. And she created the Mother-in-Law Lounge, where K-Doe would perform once again."I forget how many people it holds, but it used to be wall-to-wall — it was packed," says Eva Perry, who sang backup for K-Doe during that era. "He had people coming from everywhere to hear him, since he was back his second time around."Ernie K-Doe died in 2001 at the age of 65, but he didn't exactly leave: His wife commissioned a likeness, fashioned from a department-store mannequin, that she installed in the loung

Afternoon all. There wasn't a show last night due to reasons*. As you know by now, we don't like to leave you with nothing to listen to (and our show is timeless), we wanted to re-up a show from the archive.Hopefully we'll be back on the airwaves next weekend.---SHOW BLURB FROM 2019---It's the 1st guest mix of the year and to be honest we can't think of a better person to hand over the Sheffield Live airwaves to. From WWOZ on a Tuesday night, its the host of The 50's Rhythm 7 Blues Show, Neil Pelligrin. He's given us a twin-spin mix of some of the finest grooves found on a 45 and it's an honour to have the mix on our show.The rest of the show is taken up with a little bit of what we've been listening to in the week, some picks that we've been sitting on for a while and everybody's favourite.... on air show planning!* Steve took the fob to The Yorkshire Dales by mistake.

Today's episode is a Q&A show with questions from listeners like you. As always questions from our Patreon supporters go to the top of the list, followed by those from our Facebook community. Timestamps Patron Questions 4:38 - What are your favorite venues on Frenchman st. and which are your favorite artists to see in those venues? 7:58 - Where do you recommend to go for a great breakfast in the Quarter and why? Any must-have breakfast menu selections that are classic NOLA? 9:15 - I was wondering if there was a theatrical agency who provides actors in NOLA? I am in need of 2 male actors for a music video. 9:57 - I remember you once gave listeners a heads up that you might be starting up a whisky/bourbon podcast at some point. Any updates on that? 12:03 - What are some New Orleans bands/musicians that you're following these days? Do any of them have ongoing residencies anywhere in town? 13:41 - What do you think about the current state of affairs in New Orleans? NOLA was hit with the pandemic then, just as things were getting a little better, Hurricane Ida hit. Are things rebounding from a residents perspective? Is the current political leadership up to the challenge? 17:46 - Saba is one of my favorite places to go every time I am in New Orleans (with one of the best Sazeracs in town). That said, are there any other treasures you recommend at places one wouldn't expect? 19:40 - We love French Quarter Fest; began attending in 2017, and find it more enjoyable than Jazz Fest. We would love to try some of the other festivals; do you have particular favorites that you can suggest? 23:53 - I'd like to hear an update on your travel guide. Do you expect sales will really grow as FQ Fest and Jazz Fest are coming up? Anything specific fans and the community can do to help promote? 26:00 - Is Jazz Fest still worth attending now that the vendor for Crawfish Bread has bowed out? (Just kidding, but I'm crushed and I wonder what you will fill your foil lined pockets with now :-) 28:58 - When is it okay to join a Second Line. There seems to be different etiquette for funerals than for, e.g., weddings in the Quarter…   Facebook Questions 33:50 - If you don't have a brass pass from WWOZ, can you still buy their WWOZ gear at Jazz Fest? 34:53 - You can eat free at any 5 restaurants in Nola for the rest of your life but that's the only 5 restaurants you can ever eat at again.

Also what is the best transportation for the same, are the streetcars wheelchair accessible? 40:43 - What is your favorite quote about New Orleans? 42:27 - Being a graphic designer, I've always wondered why does Rex use the phrase, “The School of Design?” 44:11 - If you could host a roundtable discussion with any five New Orleans celebrities, who would you host and what would you discuss? Think music, art, food and bar scene, sports, politics… 49:01 - Can you suggest the best hotel or area to look for my wife and I as we come for our sixth visit together in a few months? We have loved our stays at Place d'Armes, Bourbon Orleans and Hotel Monteleone, but are ready to stay somewhere outside the FQ. We like a lively bar/touristy/people-watching/easy-to-leave-the-hotel-and-walk-to-something-fun vibe…what are you thoughts? 50:39 - Have you ever taken a cooking or mixology class in New Orleans? Any good recommendations? 51:32 - It's widely know that Derek Carr went to Chipotle for his first meal as a New Orleans Saint. Bad move, but maybe he just didn't know any better…If you are tasked with spending one day with Derek Carr, taking him to one breakfast, one lunch, one dinner and one late night activity to acclimate him to his new home, where are you taking him? 55:38 - I'm a big stand up comedy fan. I hear a lot comedians who are from New Orleans like Theo Von and others say it's not the best comedy scene. Where are the good places for stand up or open mic nights?

ZZ Top is one of my favorite bands and I'm trying to write this description quickly. I'm joined by Marc Stone (https://marcstonenola.wixsite.com/mysite). Marc is a terrific guitar player and roots music historian who has been a standout presence in New Orleans since the 1990s, playing alongside legends of Funk, Zydeco, RnB and Blues on stages across the globe. Right now, Marc is touring with funk guitar icon Leo Nocentelli (https://leonocentelli.com/)of The Meters behind Leo's historic rediscovered 1971 acoustic masterpiece "Another Side.” As we mention in the interview, they're playing in my former hometown of Hartford Connecticut at Infinity Hall tonight. Leo and Marc play at New York's Sony Hall on Sept. 24, at Philly's Ardmore Concert hall on Sept. 25 at the Hamilton in Washington DC on the 27th. Stone has been called a band-leading force in the Crescent City known for his fusion of modern and traditional blues, soul and funk —a sound he calls ‘roots in the present tense'" by repeat CDC podcast guest Alexander Zaitchik. He must like being called that because it's on his website, along with the following two paragraphs: When he's not on stage or in the studio, Marc can be found behind the mic at New Orleans' iconic radio sender, WWOZ 90.7-fm, celebrating 20 years hosting of his weekly “Soul Serenade” or spinning fine and funky vinyl at clubs and events. Stone is equally at home fronting his own band, leading intricate all star projects, and tearing it up for packed houses with just a guitar and a mic. Making the best of the pandemic shut down, Stone went to work on a new album to follow up 2019's solo outing “Live at Tipitina's”, which garnered him nominations from New Orleans top cultural publications for both Best Blues Album and Best Blues Performer. The result is “Shining Like A Diamond”, his first full length studio release since 2015. The album features an incredible line up and showcases Stone's soulful vocals, masterful touch on guitar, 8 string Dobro and lap steel, finely tuned songwriting skills, and a slew of incredible performers. Never one to lean on well worn forms and contrived chops showcases, Stone draws inspiration from every corner. He also taps a well-spring of legends to bring his songs to life, including Papa Mali, Alvin “Youngblood” Hart, Marilyn Barbarin, Leo Nocentelli, Reggie Scanlan, the late Alfred “Uganda” Roberts, Meschiya Lake, James Singleton, Mike Dillon, and George Porter, Jr.

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Mike Younger left home at the age of 17 and cut his teeth as a fledgling street performer in Toronto and Vancouver. At the age of 20, he headed to New York City to seek out the 60's folk renaissance remnants. It was while performing live on WWOZ in New Orleans, that this renegade troubadour and poet of roots music caught his first break when a music publisher heard him on the broadcast. Soon after, Mike traveled to Nashville to record demos, and his recordings reached the ear of Rodney Crowell. When Mike signed his first record deal, Crowell stepped in as producer, and together they turned out Somethin' In The Air in 1999. In 2001, Jim Dickinson started producing Mike's second album, which never saw the light of day. The original Memphis sessions featured legends Levon Helm, Spooner Oldham, David Hood, with Jim Dickinson on piano, and his son Luther Dickinson on electric guitar. The tapes from that session fell into legal limbo and were lost for almost two decades. Now recovered, the recordings were completed and Mike finally released Burning The Big Top Down, on August 27th, 2021 Rodney Crowell has said of Mike Younger: “No-shit poetic realism with a tendency to museum qualities…” No Depression noted “His songs of social conscience suggest Woody Guthrie, John Mellencamp, and Steve Earle” And “Easy yet effective turns of phrases a la Kris Kristofferson” proclaimed the LA Times For more on Mike visit: www.mikeyounger.com

This installment of Trick Bag presents a special showcase of New Orleans soulstress Mary Jane Hooper. After releasing only a handful of singles between 1968 and 1970, this brilliantly talented vocalist (whose real name is Sena Fletcher) faded into obscurity. Her music has since garnered a dedicated following among R&B/soul collectors and much speculation has arisen about her recent whereabouts. A CD containing the material from her 45-RPMs and seven previously unreleased recordings -- all cut for New Orleans crawfish king Al Scramuzza's various record labels -- hit the market in 1997, helping to quench the lust for rare gems in the hearts of soul music devotees worldwide. This episode features a very rare 2016 interview I conducted with Mary Jane, which originally aired on my radio program on WWOZ in New Orleans. Also featured here are samples of never-before-heard recordings from Sena's personal collection! And, of course, we'll hear her classic sides as well.Trick Bag is presented by Osiris Media.

It's full on festival time in the state that knows how to fest better than most – except once again, due to pandemic restrictions, there are no fests right now. Though with vaccines widely available, and the recent easing of Covid-19 rules, a future with safe public gatherings suddenly doesn't seem so implausible. Inspired by WWOZ and local restaurants whipping up everything from cheesy crawfish bread to high-proof strawberry lemonade, on this week's show, we look back at some of our favorite festival experiences as we gaze hopefully into the future. We begin by meeting dozens of talented chefs at the Blackpot Festival & Cookoff, held annually in Lafayette. This gathering of musicians and cooks draws in more and more attendees each year with its come-one, come-all hospitality and generosity of spirit. Then, we participate in "The Slowest Second Line on Earth" at Brennan's in the French Quarter, where we meet ten terrific turtles and a rapping judge. Next, we join students, parents, teachers, and neighbors gathered for Edible Schoolyard's Sweet Potato Fest. We visit the garden at Arthur Ashe Charter School in Gentilly to help harvest crops and celebrate all things sweet potato. Finally, we travel to Greenville, Mississippi for the annual Delta Hot Tamale Festival. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

Last weekend, I got on Zoom with Aaron Gadiel and realized that if I edited fast - you could learn about the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in time to tune in to Jazz Festing in Place on WWOZ. Aaron Gadiel, creative coach and principal of Gadiel Group, has loved Jazz Fest since he went for the first time in 1997. We talk about how to get a Jazz Fest mentor, what weekend to go, and escaping FOMO in the Crescent City. Follow @FindingFavsPod on Twitter and Instagram.

Beth Arroyo Utterback is the general manager of WWOZ in New Orleans. The station is staffed nearly entirely by volunteers, many of whom are in their twentieth year of donating their time weekly. Listeners stream the station from across the globe. How does such a small but mighty station create such a loyal following and what can we learn from them to apply to our own businesses? 

On this edition of Trick Bag, we'll hear the story of one of the most colorful, dynamic and intriguing characters in New Orleans music history -- Guitar Slim -- as told by his piano player, Lawrence Cotton. Guitar Slim hit it big in 1954 with "The Things That I Used to Do." Complete with Slim's stunning guitar work and a masterful arrangement by Ray Charles, the song stayed at the #1 position on the R&B chart for 14 weeks and was one of the top-selling R&B singles of 1954. Slim's piercing and innovative guitar style combined with his captivating onstage persona, which included coloring his hair to match his brightly colored suits and making use of his custom 100-foot-long guitar cord to play his instrument while he rode atop the shoulders of a burly member of his entourage, made him the ultimate showman. His self-destructive alcohol habits were no secret and his untimely death on February 7th, 1959 at age 32 only added to the mystique that already surrounded him. Lawrence Cotton played piano with Slim, in concert and on recordings, from 1954 to late 1958. I had the chance to do an in-depth interview with Lawrence on December 1st, 2015 for my radio program on WWOZ in New Orleans. Lawrence was 88 at the time of the interview and is one of the most engaging and interesting people I've ever had the pleasure of interviewing. I'm happy to say that Lawrence, now 94, is just as sharp and lively as ever. In this episode, Lawrence will take us on an aural journey of Guitar Slim's career as only he can!Songs Featured in this Episode:Guitar Slim - Stand By MeGuitar Slim - I Want to Love-A You (take 1)Guitar Slim - Sufferin' Mind (take 1)Lloyd Lambert & his Band - King Cotton (feat. the piano of Lawrence Cotton)Lloyd Lambert & his Band - Heavy SugarGuitar Slim - Guitar SlimGuitar Slim - I Got Sumpin' for YouGuitar Slim - Quicksand See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This first episode comes in two parts and spans the early years of the legendary Mac Rebennack, better known by his stage name Dr. John. Before reinventing himself as Dr. John in the late ‘60s, Mac combined R&B, rock and other ingredients from his native New Orleans into a musical gumbo that excited music fans in and around the city and laid the foundation for his future as a major force in the music world. In this episode, we'll hear Mac's prolific early work as a frontman, session player, songwriter, and producer, and see the breadth of his impact on the music of New Orleans in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s.Tracks Featured in this Episode:Johnny Adams, “Come On” Sugarboy Crawford, “Have A Little Mercy”Chuck Carbo, “Out On A Limb”Ronnie (Barron) & the Delinquents, “Bad Neighborhood”Roland Stone, “Something Special”T.B.

Welcome Back Faithful Listeners! We've invited a couple of real social justice warriors on the show this week! Sue Mobley might be the busiest person I know. Her primary hustle is Public Programs Manager at Tulane University's Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design, which works, “with community-based organizations to provide design services for constituencies who are underserved by the architecture and design professions.” In addition to that mouthful of a job title, Sue works with Paper Monuments, WWOZ, the Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans, and St. Claude Main Street, among others. Our second guest, Corinna Yazbek, is the Senior Associate for Strategic Partnerships at the Vera Institute of Justice, where she explores, “the intersections of economic justice, mass incarceration, and reproductive justice.” Corinna's recent work has been on the criminalization of sex work, so she's been involved locally in fighting the state and local crackdown on stripclubs, which we discussed a few weeks ago on the episode “What's Your Real Job”. We had a great, wide ranging conversation that touched on a lot of topics. Street protests, the ethics of tip-based-income systems, using of “social justice warrior” as a pejorative, and so much more. It's a long one, but worth the trip, so strap in and enjoy! -Cole

There are plenty of fascinating things to discover about Rob Steinberg among them his major role in the Oscar winning movie 12 Years a Slave and his storied roles in big time TV shows, but for some reason drinks this conversation zeroes in on the gay Puerto Rican guy who showed up after Rob wrecked his car, a French talking pigeon, and Rob s conversation with Bob Marley about music and pot. Because Rob is a fine actor, raconteur, and mimic this is as close as you can humanly get to hanging out with Bob Marley and a French pigeon, though you could probably find a gay Puerto Rican of your own to discuss pants and paints with if you know where to look. Johnny Ray is an equally gifted raconteur and enthusiastic elaborator of the truth, so you can only imagine what it must have been like when Johnny and Rob shared a house after an unfortunate romantic incident in Johnny s life. By day Johnny gets to tell tall stories to tourists about the New Orleans movie biz on his New Orleans Movie Tours which he founded and operates. By night he s a mega music fan, haunting nightclubs and hanging backstage with musicians of all stripes, and at midnight on Tuesdays he turns into a liquor lubricated DJ on community station WWOZ. Robin Barnes is a member of the Royal Family of New Orleans music. Her cousin Dave Bartholomew wrote songs for Fats Domino, Elvis, and Chuck Berry among others and was one of the founding fathers of rock n roll. Genes can go a long way in the talent business and Robin more than proves that here. Robin and bass player Pat Casey play two songs off of Robin s solo EP, Me, Robin introduces her cousins, one of whom is a fashionista sporting 185 Air Jordans and a limited edition Polo Bear shirt which you don t even have to waste your time Googling because you ll never be able to get your hands on one.
