banjo. Good accordion, am I hearing footwork?
Nice fiddling. Can barely hear the bass, it is
rumble at this point. I think I have the whole
set. Am hearing footwork! Fidelity not that great
though. Would be great to dance to this. Yeah.
She is off-mic for her first words. Valse 
Bernadette next followed by medley with the 
"world renowned" Reel Beatrice at end. Yeah! Good 
ole Reel Beatrice. Accordion is dominating. Piano 
is low level. Fiddle too. Bass is only apparent 
once in awhile.
Next tune: Intro'd by Eric. A square dance tune. 
Turns into some footwork. Tidal Wave? Love this 
music.
Jig/set of reels/waltz. Hot!
Pretty waltz! Some sort of bad noise in the background, alas.
Another hot tune. Not hearing the piano or the fiddle, but great accordion.

Bruce Daigrepont
Handover to stage is well done. Perfect timing. If only WWOZ could do that.
1) intro
2) unknown fast, familiar
3) ? (old, Lomax)
4) Balfa Waltz
5) fi fi ? They play every week at Tipitina's, 
have for 17 years? Don asks for the same 3 songs 
every week!
6) Coeur des Cajuns (Heart of the Cajuns) nice
7) Paradis
His singing isn't what I thought it would be. 
(The first few songs, he's yelling at the top of 
his range, borderline awful.) Hearing him do 
Paradis, I wonder what I heard back in '98. I 
thought that was Paradis. That was a sweet waltz. 
This isn't that.
8) You Keep A Knockin' But You Can't Come In. 
Rockin'. Fiddler does a Michael Doucet touch at 
one point. Into another tune after that. Fast 
words.
9) Valse de la Prison. Canray Fontenot was fond of it. Blues.
10) Bienvenue dans la Sud de la Louisianne (w/ 
lots of French names of towns, supposedly but I 
didn't hear them...)
11) When I Go Down The Road. Nice.
12) Tu le Ton Son Ton (Clifton Chenier) First 
time he saw him was on Austin City Limits! 
Another rockin' tune.
"How much time we got?" The crowd yells b ack, "all night"!
13) Bosco Stomp. Yeah, although I like the Beausoleil version better.
14) Le Diable Est Lâché (Devil's On The Loose) 
Good hip-grinding dance tune. Nicely done. Nice 
fiddle solo w/ audience clapping.

Elizabeth LaPrelle with Sandy LaPrelle & Jim Lloyd (MPBN feed)
1) ? (Rebecca King Jones)
2)  Darling Corey
3)  Come All You Virginia Girls aka Cousin Emmy's 
Blues (Sandy and Caroline Paton)  (hear train 
whistles!)
4) Little Darlin' Pal of Mine (Carter Family)
5) Matty Grove (a cappella)
6) God Gave Noah The Rainbow Sun
7) Whole Heap of Little Horses
8) Muleskinner Blues (Jimmy Rogers, Blue Yodel #9)
9) Blind Bartimus (w/ Sandy LaPrelle)
10) Jim Lloyd - Open Up Them Pearly Gates For Me 
(in the style of Uncle Dave Macon)
11) Been All Around This World (low end feedback

14) Have You Seen That Turtle Dove, a cappella w/ Sandy
15) end

Big Chief Monk Boudreaux & The Golden Eagles
03:08:12 PM Perfect handover to the stage! The DJ 
stops, the MC starts. Bravo! Tells of history. 
Good enough mix. (Miss above 16k, there is some 
but it would be nice to have more. And the 
phasing is too bad. Not bad but it would be 
better if it wasn't there. MPBN has a better 
feed...) Wanna dance! Nice and hot and humid here 
too. Mardi Gras (Prof Longhair) w/ new words, 
another tune (Who that boy got Golden Crown)- 
they're singing on key! I didn't know it could be 
done... Now Monk is off key. Band sounds great! 
Got To Face The Rising Sun (reggae), Hey Mama 
starts off with a hot gtr lick then descends into 
the Mardi Gras Indian chant which is off key.
I restart RadioRecorder in the middle of Hey 
Mama. (RadioRecorder doesn't want to startup. 
Says data is too small. Finally it starts.) 
Hendrix's They Don't Know! Mardi Gras Indian funk 
band... hot!
ERU DJs are complaining that Monk isn't there for 
his interview. Yes, New Orleanians do things on 
their own time... Interview guitarist. His level 
is low. John Lisi? Big Chief joins in. His level 
is low. DJ is fine.
