Another New Orleans Loss
George Brumat, owner and operator of Snug Harbor, New Orleans' premier jazz club, died of natural causes a few days ago. This gentleman was a class act; and he and his venue were vital parts of the local music scene. The fact that family members will keep Snug going with no changes is reassuring news for a city that needs all the continuity it can get. . . .
George was a great guy and will be missed. I use to work for him over at Snug Harbor and he was a wonderful boss and friend.
