. . .come marching in. New Orleans jazz, Dixieland. These young men were playing it for tips on Bourbon Street and they were hot. The tourist in the middle picture decided to put himself in the act. (I wouldn't dream of doing this!) The band had drawn a small crowd when I passed. The white (and one Asian) spectators seemed to prefer the sidewalk across the street from the black musicians.
I don't think that Rick's Sporting Saloon means sporting in the sense of baseball or tennis. You might remember the character Sportin' Life in Porgy and Bess.

I'd have watched and listened and given a tip.
That definitely was a wee bit cheeky Bob, some people have a nerve! So it was this post that got me humming 'that' tune' :)
Thank goodness that they have good music and fine food in New Orleans. Otherwise, the tawdriness of Bourbon Street would not have a redeeming counterbalance.
That tourist needs some lessons in manners... what hooligans raised him?
Fun!!!
