The Rich Sounds Of Music In New Orleans

On Friday nights, I walk down the bayou to a concert. There's a global pandemic still going on, so I'm not headed to a club or an arena. Instead, I'm walking, iced coffee in hand, to a porch concert. I sit on Miss Mary's tangerine-colored steps and greet her pet corgi, Mo-mo, as I settle in for the show. Neighbors gather in the street on plastic lawn-chairs, and cars attempt to swerve around them.
