Wednesday March 8, 2006 - New Orleans Narratives website is up.
I launched a mini-site (mini-mi abuelo, hah!!). No really, I put up a site that I hope to grow with narratives produced by others. Feel free to email me about this. Check it out!

I am back in New Orleans after spending many weeks in Virginia
with my generous Mom and my lovely girlfriend. Today was my first time
on the air with WWOZ
who have temporarily relocated to Baton Rouge's LBP building. As the show
started, I was pretty much choked up with tears of joy and sadness which
were on the verge of spilling onto the Behringer mixer. But I kept my
cool.
I requested emails from listeners - the response was remarkable. It feels like the fog is finally lifting, the frost of commercial radio thawing, making way for some sort of rebirth. We can't give up!!! This ain't gonna be easy. There are a thousand obstacles and a lot to worry about, but consider the alternative (viewer discretion advised.)
There's so much more to say. I haven't updated this page for quite some time and I apologize to the few who may be reading this. But I'm back in the city we can't forget.

Sometime in September
As week 4 in exile approaches, another hurricane with a punch
enters the gulf, lovely Rita. I do so much miss life in New Orleans
(no particular order):
- iced coffee at the Rue de la Course
- real sausage (no really, I thought sausage was a readily available commodity
until I entered Virginia.)
- Saturday night ceremonies with La Source Ancienne.
-WWOZ shows followed by a visit to Sallie Ann Glassman's Island of Salvation
Botanica.
- the pace

My gig as Boom Operator for the independent film Local Color
(directed by George
Gallo) has wrapped. The film stars Ray
Liotta, Diana
Scarwid, Armin
Mueller Stahl and Trevor
Morgan - moving script, wonderful acting and low key (for the most
part) set. Instead of a bottom line being the driving force behind this
project, this film is being financed by people who believe in the project.
I think the film will be a nice surprise for many.

Brian Eno has released a new CD that promises many joyful listenings.
He has
returned to offer lyrics alongside his ambient musings. This is perhaps
his best
work to date since he recorded with U2 in the mid 90s as The Passengers.
Check
out AnotherdayonEarth.com.
My only complaint is the cd is too short (46 minutes)
- The emotional range on this cd is far larger than most music in this
genre.
"How Many Worlds" is a beautiful piece with a Beatle-like catchiness
blended
with a velvet lushness. The extended bridge in "How Many Worlds" with its
strings and bells is a rich soundscape worthy of exploring and inhabiting.
On the other hand, Daniel Lanois' latest offering Belladonna is not nearly
as
pleasing. Gone are the beautiful ballads with thoughtful lyrics that took
precedence
on his first two CDs, Acadie and For the Beauty of Wynona. On Belladonna,
Lanois
has turned to the pedal steel for his muse connection.
Granted, I will still continue to purchase his work as both a musician
and a producer. Hopefully, Belladonna is merely a phase he is passing
through and
he planning a return to his soulful songwriting.

The music page featuring the work of George
Ingmire is now up. These
recordings are mainly from the late 1990s when George lived in the French
Quarter. Following the death of his father in 1996, he embarked on a series
of recordings to turn his mind towards creative endeavors. 14
September is
one recording in particular that was written as a tribute/'release of
sorrow'
to his father. The rawness of theserecordings speak to a great time in
an attic
loft overlooking the Mississippi River. Picture: a new 4-track, many pints
of
Guinness, and a curiousity with sounds.

RECENTLY ADDED LINK: KCRW,
a radio station operating out of Los Angeles funded by the public (read
last bastion of democracy.) My suggestion: when you're not listening to
WWOZ , tune into
KCRW (and vice versa.) Keep a note pad by the computer.. There's a show
every morning throughout
the work week "Morning Becomes Eclectic" hosted by Nic
Harcourt.

Tonight at the HOB - Cheb
Khaled (now known simply as Khaled) will perform with many, many special
guests. This is arguably a once in a lifetime gig for the New Orleans
community. Rai music in New Orleans. Khaled and friends showed
up for an impromptu performance and interviews last night with the Goddess
presiding and Freddie Blue engineering.
