I have been dreaming of our eventual return to New Orleans for weeks now. I picked up some CD's at the library today: Trombone Shorty, Galactic and Robert Randolph. I also checked out 2 books and a DVD. Anyone paying any attention would think I am planning a trip or conducting research for a paper!!!
I just started casually reading Orleans Embrace with The Secret Gardens of the Vieux Carre by Ty Fisher. The prose is so descriptive, the photos magical. Everything I feel and remember. Written so perfectly.
"There is never as much time, for anything, as you think. Therefore please savor the moment of reliving the remembrances that the coming pages will bring you; bringing back into focus the unforgettable imagery of New Orleans, a beautiful old enchantress so very imperfect and interestingly scarred; her images shall forever swarm upon us, sleeping and slumbering deep within our heads; her beauty lingering somewhere in the twilight, since we can never sever from sight what we have seen and loved.
Once she has gripped your heart and wrapped you in her spell she will never let you go."
Tru dat!!
