    Not only is the greatest of all jazz musicians from New Orleans, the music itself is.

    Also the Cajun Navy. After hurricane Sally, a group of Louisiana volunteers were cutting trees off of people’s houses at no charge.

    Little tidbit on Jean Lafitte.

    Cecil V DeMille was famous for adding scandal and drama into otherwise boring history.

    But when he made "The Buccaneer" he actually toned down the facts.

    The governor's daughter wasn't really Lafitte's booty ... but the governor's wife was.

    I’m no oyster eater, but the charbroiled oysters at Dragos at the New Orleans Hilton at the end of canal st. Are the best!
