Sunday the wind was blowing and it was not typical JF hot. I started the day with a nice long bike ride and then a visit from Mom, who came bearing a Boston Cream Pie as condolences for Arlene. <\/p>\n

They were awesome – this video doesn’t do them justice because they were jumping all over the stage and really rocking the house. I then walked over to catch Robert Cray at the Gentilly stage but it was so crowded that even the walkway was impossible to maneuver. I was going to catch the Ebony Hillbillies but instead headed to the Blues Tent for the mist and shade and especially to watch the New Orleans All-Star R&B Revue with Al “Carnival Time” Johnson<\/a> and Allen Toussaint<\/a>, which was hosted by Deacon John. Very fun. When Al Johnson sang Carnival Time the entire tent stood up and started dancing. <\/p>\n
