Yay! We finally have gotten some cooler and less humid weather here in the New Orleans area. Yesterday we went downtown to Lafayette Square to enjoy the music and food at the 4th annual Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival, and especially to see slide guitarist extrodinaire Sonny Landreth whom we always enjoy. I also especially enjoyed two new-to-me music artists: Luther Kent and Brother Tyrone. By that time, the sun was going down and getting colder. Not having worn more than T-shirts, we missed Buddy Guy who was performing in the last time slot of the evening.

And here’s my big purchase at the artists’ market at the festival — a hand-painted leather mask. I call it “instant face paint”. The leather is so soft and supple; hardly noticeable in the wearing, and the colors so brilliant that I instantly thought of face paint (except without the mess, lol). What fun! |
