I don't think its odd to wonder about the music at all. Music is part of our spirit and soul. Music is about the things that keep us going in this life. Its what makes us different from the dog who just howls at the moon. Human beings sing the blues and New Orleans was a wonderful center for jazz and blues - a part of our country's unique American culture.
When I lost everything I had, one of my greatest griefs was the loss of my vinyl records - albums that I had collected over 30 years that were irreplaceable. I'm sure we have lost some of the melody of New Orleans. I hope we find it again soon.
