I don't really believe this is something that actually occurs.


I have a feeling it occurs much more than we realize, perhaps not at the crossroads ,though I'm sure it happens there on occasion.

You may have been joking, but I think you may have touched on something that is actually very real , especially in other genres of music.

but...back to happy thoughts, or at least the appreciation of the southern influence in certain music genres.






You are probably right. Honestly I spend very little time thinking about that sort of thing. For better or worse, I tend to see the world through rose colored glasses. Hopelessly optimistic I am.
Your video reminded me of this jewel By Louis Armstrong and believe it or not this song gets sung out loud in my house at least once a week. For me the sentiment expressed in this song helps banish negativity.

Omar and the Howlers used to play at a little joint in H'burg called Tal's Corral. I never got to see them because I was too young to get in the door. Another band that I thought was from somewhere else. I thought they were from New Orleans.

By the way, is that a photo of the MS river bridge in New Orleans that is displayed in your mini profile?

Yep, the picture says it's the MS river bridge with giant moon. I have another of a steamboat on the MS river too.

I've never seen these guys live. I'm discovering lots of new stuff. H'burg seems the place to be. It's a college town for sure.

Correction; the bar was called The Stoned Toad. When the owner moved the operation north of town, he changed the name to Tal's. His was the first bar in MS to have a mechanical bull, at least that's what he told me. I can't verify that but I have no reason not to believe him.

I did get into The Stoned Toad one time because my uncle's band was playing there and I was his Jr. roadie for the night. They opened up for Willie Nelson. I was about 15 years old. Even went to the after party and was in the same room with Willie for a while. My brush with greatness.

You met Willie Nelson, that's alright now. Have you ever heard of an Irish bar called Shenanigan's on 49 South before you go under the bridge and come to Southern University? I've seen it travelling many times and never been in.

I've never been to any bar or outing in H'burg, only pass through going to Destin, Fl. or the Coast.

Have I heard of it? Boy have I. I returned to H'burg for a few months several years ago and embarrassed myself quite thoroughly singing karaoke there.

I need to stop in there some time in the future. Sounds fun.

H'burgs very own Jimmy Buffett cover band
You know Jimmy Buffett went to school in H'burg right? USM, he got expelled for smoking you-know-what in his dorm room.

This one video made me

It reminds me of when my family comes all together at one time and that's not easy to do, but when it happens it's special. I loved this video. That's how we do it in the south. No better party, some drinks, guitar, snacks and singing. That simple.
