History, people, fables and critical essays on the 24/7 life of the French Quarter. "Those who live somewhere should be allowed to decide how a place should exist; it should not be determined by how it can be sold."

Jazz drummer, popular WWOZ radio host Bob French dies
Bob French, drummer, bandleader and radio host – a direct link to the very beginnings of jazz, has passed away. For those of us that had the pleasure of meeting him, we will remember that cantankerous New Orleanian always, with love and respect.
Mr. French, YOU kept the groove alive. Thank you.
