Episode #52: Mardi Gras

I've finally been at Star Time long enough to do something a second time: an all-New Orleans episode. Even managed to time it relatively close to Mardi Gras, which I believe is next Tuesday. This week's material spans from 1947 all the way to 1984, and includes many artists one reflexively spits out when someone mentions "New Orleans," as well as some you might have to dig around for. But that's all right, go ahead and get your hands a little dirty. New Orleans has soap.
