My family's Carnival season took an unexpected turn for the worse yesterday with the death of my wife's father, Jemy Plaisance. He had not been in good health for some time; but the sudden case of pneumonia that claimed him surprised and saddened us all. He left behind two sons, two daughters, six grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and several siblings of his own.
I am still going to try to post the Carnival music I had set aside for this run-up to Mardi Gas (next Tuesday, the 28th). But I could not do so without saying that I will be offering it in honor of my late father-in-law, who we call Pops.
All the best to you and yours. Enjoy life while you can. You never know what's around the corner, y'all.
Peace
Based on the premise that the true Home of the Groove, at least on the North American landmass, is the irreplaceable musical and cultural nexus, New Orleans, Louisiana and environs, this audioblog features rare, hard to find, often forgotten, vintage New Orleans-related R&B and funk records with commentary. Some general knowledge of N.O. music is helpful here, but not required to get your groove on.
