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
at intro and high end later) She is out of the
mix some
12) West Virginia Mine Disaster (Jean Ritchie) a cappella
(tape 2)
13) Mole In The Ground (missed a little of the intro) w/ banjo
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.

Please note that I now have a new e-mail address (lipwak@gmail.com)
Please use that address from now on. Thanks!
I listen to MBPN and record that onto tape. I will record WERU on
RadioRecorder when I leave so that it will record about 4 hours and
45 minutes worth of that. I'll be able to record 3 hours of ERU,
hopefully getting back in time to put in fresh tapes and to restart
RadioRecorder, although I like what's on the Railroad Stage (WERU)
more than the Heritage Stage (MPBN) today.
12:07:04 PM ERU is still playing some CD. They say they will be live
all day but the festival has already started and they aren't
broadcasting it, as far as I can tell. Some brass/jazz band is
playing now. Kinda funky but not Larry Johnson and now another CD
plays. Still, I will record ERU's stream when I leave so we'll see
what is on there when I get back.
***
I return home at 5:18. RadioRecorder stopped at 240 minutes (15 min
into Eddie and Alonzo Pennington, theoretically). Who knows when the
Quicktime player stopped. I'll have to listen to the tape. (Hopefully
I caught Raz de Maree on ERU)
I pick up with Frank London on the Heritage Stage. Sounds good.
Quality stream, good mix, good music. I should be able to catch all
of Bruce Daigrepont. Frank London is flashy but too showy for me.
Trying to impress too much. Frenetic though they had a moment of just
plain nice music a little while ago.
05:34:38 PM MPBN stream restarts itself. WTF is up with that?
05:54:12 PM MPBN stream restarts itself again, conveninently inbetween tunes.
I listen to Frank London looking for it to end so I can listen to
Bruce Daigrepont (and am using RadioRecorder to record Bruce now
anyway.) Frank was supposed to be over 15 minutes ago...
05:58:51 PM A nice slower one. Grand even.
06:14:07 PM stream restarts itself or we get ID again.
Frank is still going at it a 6:20. They were supposed to be over at 5:45...
OK, it's 6:30. More? Oy.
06:33:55 PM It's fucking repeating, goddam it. Now it restarts again.
Geez.It'll never end. And since I don't n ow this music well enough I
don't know where it is picking up. I do know I have heard this
before...
I move the slider to near the end and see what happens. It stops
after repeating a section I just heard. Fuck it. Now to Bruce.
06:36:38 PM I go to ERU. Bruce is still playing, crescendo-ing.
(RadioRecorder is still recording so that is good. 82 minutes into it
so far.) Bruce ends tune. And the end of the set. DJ mangles the
name. Great. I caught the very end of it, live. I should have it all
on RadioRecorder.
6:40 pm i stop RadioRecorder and iTunes. Now to go back and listen to
today's stuff. I'll blog it when I've listened to it.
