New Orleans is…
Sunday when we went out to join the people for the We Shall Not Be Moved video, it was red dress (hash house harriers) day in New Orleans – I just happened to have a red tutu on so I was mistaken for the wrong event many times that day. As we walked up to the music video gathering, someone asked me what group I was with and I said, “I, we, are with the group of individuality, thank you very much.”
Later, when we were at Take #11 of the beginning of the song, the director shouted, “session break!” and the filmmakers turned away from us = meantime, the musicians and revelers moved onto a different beat – our lead drummer called it out: “ah nah ney, ah nah ney” and we responded, us New Orleanians with hips, hands, tapping our feet to a beat that is in our blood, hey now.
