30 Days Out (From Christmas): Louisiana

Day 20 – Our Christmas journey today brings us to the great state of Louisiana – or more precisely, New Orleans. The Crescent City is home to some of the greatest American musicians of past and modern eras, and being the nice Catholic boys and girls most of ’em are, they really know how to put on a good party at Christmas. We also veer slightly into Cajun country for a couple of our selections but it’s all Louisiana, it’s all good. Lassez les bon temps roulet.
