There’s one extra in this picture, the guy sitting behind Lucky Peterson. His Cuban born drummer and New Orleans’ bass player are to his right. Lucky grew up in Buffalo. You can tell by looking at his boots. He played with Little Milton and Bobby Blue Bland so his blues has soul. He is a monster on the organ, piano and guitar. He has a voice big enough to comand attention in a full house (in this case a tent) while off mic. He has the showmanship thing down with spades!
I’ve been tracking a portion of the Jazz Fest here.

Monday was the weak day of the Fest- didn’t see anything that caught my attention. Ducked into Max for a glass of wine after cycling through four venues. Ended up sitting with a group of six people who I assumed all knew each other. It turned out that each of us knew one person and the rest were just Festival goers who had just met. It was great. Then dawn Thomson came on for her second set and she was pretty good so it was another successful festival evening.
