Keepin' it simple..

Today got up had breakfast. & then cooked up a pot of Super Bowl jambalaya . Later in ithe morning headed out to the Super Bowl Sunday Treme Sidewalk Steppers secondline . First time I did a secondline from beginning to the end. Parade featured the Rebirth Brass Band who don't do second lines much anymore and were making their last NO appearance before heading to the Grammys. The parade steadily picked up people as it went along and by the end had to be Several thousand strong- it was wild! Speaking of the end- this parade is marked by the president of the secondline climbing up on the roof of the bar where parade ends ( in this case, Sidney's Saloon) and proceeding to take off and cut up his suit! First the jacket, then the tie, then his shirt, one of his pant legs and finally his hat was removed, shredded w scissors and thrown off the roof to the crowd below. As they say, only in New Orleans! After the parade headed back to sis's house to eat , watch the big game & rest up for tomorrow's playground build. Peace out.
