Hi Kim,

Thanks for posting! I grew up in Louisiana and love Aaron Neville. Before the Jazz Festival in N.O. got so big (many years ago), you could get so close to the stage that you could actually reach out and touch him when he was singing at the mike - not that I would do that!:)

Happy Happy Christmas,

Maxine

I saw the Neville Brothers many times in concert - always a great performance! I'm so glad you got a nice reminder of your Louisiana roots. (Visions of young Maxine boogieing in front of the stage). Here's another one that you might like. :)

Ah, yes, Kim, I remember those days fondly! Thanks for the great links! Did you see the Neville Brothers in New Orleans or elsewhere?

Maxine

Sadly, I've never been to New Orleans. In my hippie days, I traveled all around to see the Grateful Dead and the Nevilles often opened for them. One of the best was a New Years Eve concert in Oakland California - was that 1987 or 1988? Good times! I also remember a great concert with the Nevilles and Bonnie Raitt.

Speaking of B.R. - here's a goodie - a duet with Charles Brown
