And this is a week with 2 potential theme sets, what with Valentine's on Thurs.  Hope Rosalie is still on duty for that one.

Any expectations?

Hoping to hear Professor Longhair, The Meters, Allen Toussaint, Lee Dorsey, and Ernie K-Doe, for starters.  :)

For Christmas I received a New Orleans Funk 1960-1975 compilation which has many if not all of those. One of my best gifts EVAH.

Will listen to the replay... I have high hopes.

Of course, a Mardi Gras set doesn't necessarily mean all N'awlins artists.  I'm sure Paul Simon's "Take Me to the Mardis Gras" will appear.  Possibly "Havin' a Party"?

2-way pock-a-way, away!

Dr John & the Nevilles! BOS1 for this delightful TOTHK.

I'd love it if we got the theme from Treme.

I still don't know what "hey pocky way" means.  Bur BOS3 the Meters.

Apparently the Dead covered this -- here's hoping I never hear their version  ;)
