Been away.. New Orleans

2002-06-26 12:30:55+00 by meuon 1 comments

Been visiting family (and now friends) in New Orleans. People I have not seen since I was 14. Got some great pics, and spent just enough time in New Orleans to realize how much true culture Chattanooga lacks. OK, New Orleans is far from perfect, and I spend very little time in the 'district', and a lot of time running around with kinfolk that live and work there. My favorite non-family picture is of the lake, when the rain hit. 5 minutes later it was bright and sunny again:

Recopied from this page because there are too danged many pop-ups there, good ol' Louis Armstrong:

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong... this feeling's gettin' stronger
The longer, I stay away
Miss them moss covered vines...the tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds used to sing
And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi...hurryin' into spring

The moonlight on the bayou.......a Creole tune.... that fills the air
I dream... about Magnolias in bloom......and I'm wishin' I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more...I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

(instrumental break)

The moonlight on the bayou.......a Creole tune.... that fills the air
I dream... about Magnolias in bloom......and I'm wishin' I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more...I miss the one I care for
More.....more than I miss.......New Orleans
