What do you look like?

Thank you for allowing us to view your musician-like features.  It is as well it is the only picture you have scanned...

(lol  , only joking, good to see you...)

Thanks, John. This is a picture from around 2002 I believe.

Looks like you have an Ibanez in the background, MI! 

Yes, that is an Ibanez SA-160. I'm not sure if it's made anymore, but I haven't really played it in years. It probably needs a lot work done to it by now.


Here is a stock picture of it:

Wow, that's exactly how I like my guitars to look.

Found a few more of myself....

This is me in a guitar shop in New Orleans. This is the only picture of me in this shop and my eyes were closed for this shot, but hey look at my Thelonious Monk shirt!



Here's another one of me in New Orleans standing outside of St. Louis Cathedral:

Here's another one of me in New Orleans standing outside of St. Paul's Cathedral:

 

MI - as a frequent visitor to New Orleans, I'm sure that you are standing in front of St. Louis Cathedral, which has an equestrian stature of Andrew Jackson not far from where your are located - just a clarification for those not familiar w/ this fabulous city - of course, the famous Cafe Du Monde is nearby -

Error corrected! I don't know why I thought the name of the cathedral was St. Paul. Anyway, not long after this picture was taken I went to Cafe Du Monde and had some coffee and those delicious beignets. My mouth is watering as we speak!

I should mention that I didn't really have all that pleasant of a vacation in New Orleans. One of the biggest problems for me was the humidity. I was there around May and I don't think I sweated that much in my life. Even after a shower, I felt dirty. It rained one day while I was there and this did cool things off, but when it quit raining, the heat got worse. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time cooling off in my hotel room. Thank goodness for air conditioning!

I thought New Orleans was so whammed by the last hurricane that the entire city was abandoned due to ruin and flooding.  I am delighted to note that I have been an assho£7 in this respect, and I am glad that famous city has recovered.
Nice to see you again in the pics.

Yes, the city has recovered quite nicely. There were a lot of people there when I visited, which was in '08. I always wanted to go to New Orleans and now that I've gotten a taste of what the city has to offer, I have no desire to go back. I didn't really connect at all with the vibe of the city. I stayed there for a week, so I don't think time was an issue, but more of a matter of trying to fit in and get a feel for the city. I also didn't care much for the people there.

Hi John - the city really has not recovered at this point - I use to visit every other year (and in response to MI's edit - the summer months are horrible for humidity, so plan your trip in early spring or the fall!) - last spring Susan (i.e. Harpo) and I decided to revisit after Katrina did its damage (check HERE for more details on that 2005 hurricane) just to support the city and leave some money there!

Katrina flooded 80% or more of the city of New Orleans & the surrounding parishes, such as St. Bernard parish (in LA, counties are known as parishes, a French thing); however, the famous French Quarter (and much of the Garden District) were not affected by this natural catastrophe (the worst in USA history) because these areas where built on the HIGHEST sites in the area (wise decision many years ago), so the sites most visited by tourists were not really impacted on this terrible disaster!

However, much of the rest of the city & surroundings were miserably flooded!  In our recent visit, we took a 'Katrina Tour' - the guide was a middle-aged women who had lived in St. Bernard parish - with the flood surge, her house was cover to the roof top and she lost ALL things dear to her many years there - this is just one story in thousands of inhabitants of this city - many have still not returned - quite SAD!

But for those who live near to visit this wonderfully historic city, please go and leave some of your money - it's a wonderful place and needs much support for recovery; and if you do visit, look for a Katrina tour to better understand HOW MUCH damage really occurred!   Dave

I stayed in the French Quarter and that part of the city didn't have hardly any damage at all (if any). I don't want to make it sound like I didn't enjoy myself, because I did. I met some jazz musicians (two of them Marsalis brothers --- Delfeayo and Jason) and guitarist Steve Masakowski (who has made several recordings for Blue Note Records and other labels). This was probably the most fun I had in the city. I also just enjoyed exploring the city particularly the French Quarter with its myriad of shops and Jackson Square. I walked down Magazine St. and this was pretty neat. Anyway, I just didn't connect with the locals there, but talking with other musicians was great.

Yikes...where has this member gone off too?!?!? I'd really like to talk with you...come back.....

Yes, I wish she would come back. She was not only adorable looking, her posts were sensational: she had a way of describing her listening experiences, her musical discoveries (like Mahler) that was an absolute pleasure to read.

Working on it. The one I just posted works, but it doesn't show. I may have to use some service.

Thanks. I'm not good with this technology shit.

Me. Very recently taken when I renovated my musicroom!

That's funny because I always imagined your music room more like this
