Happy Mother's Day

Leighton has opted to eat his blueberries from a bowl on the floor like a household pet. Obviously we're doing a great job.

Since I saw him live..... my junior (?) year of college. Hugh Masekela has mattered to me. This song.... "Ha Le Se (The Dowry Song) has been a song that has never - NEVER - failed to lift my spirits. Whenever I was down... Hugh bent my wings back enough to fly.

"What are you doing with a gangsta like dis? Well... da good 'ting about a gangsta.... he keep you safe, late at night."

He hugged me 3 times & signed my CD. One of the all-time greats. And was a great precursor to our Jazz Fest adventure.

As Leighton said while getting a bath Sunday night, "Mommy... I had fun at Jazz Fest."

Amen. Thanks to all for a great time & for playing with all of us. It does take a village to raise children -- thankfully our village is New Orleans and y'all aren't the "pitchforks & torches" type of villagers!

Not every day a Space Shuttle comes up the river... Right by the Statue of Liberty, up past its future home on the USS Intrepid. Very inspiring...

Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble

I consider myself blessed to have attended 2. Just Easter weekend we were discussing taking Mom to one...

RIP: Levon Helm

Levon Helm passed this afternoon. A legendary musician but, more importantly, a good soul.

Thank you, kind sir. You meant a lot to me & my family and we nearly named our youngest son after you. As the song goes:

"He shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man."

Thanks for the music. And for being a good man. Please rest in peace. And boy did that heavenly choir just get a lot better....

Someone posted this on Garden & Gun's tribute, and I thought it a nice remembrance: "I hope he went peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, with an old dog at his feet and a hint of whiskey on his breath. For that is the death befitting the last of the true Southern gentlemen."
