...that I was in New Orleans and visited Preservation Hall among many many other places- Pat Obrien's Leah Chase's Restaurant, Cemetery # 1, the aquarium.......

Preservation Hall, May 25th 2005

A lot of bad has happened since then, but today I received this e-mail:

Hey there,
My name is Morgan Wood ,and I moved here a few months ago in search of a new feel for my instrument and lifestyle.I think i have found what I,m looking for here in New Orleans.I have some material I would like to submit and see if you can use it.
 
thank you,
Morgan
 
 
...So it made me feel good that perhaps New Orleans will indeed come back and the musical tradtion will once again live on....
 
This was a good sign too- the penguins are back at the aquarium!
