His own one man zydeco band! Great snap 🙂
Thank you!
One of the perks of NO are the street musicians. I remember hearing a lone sax player late one night that was haunting. Good shot!
NOLA does have great street music. Thank you.
Just hearing about the sax player like that gave me a chill! How cool
washboard playing, now that is a dying art form…I don’t recall seeing that in recent years. agree, you captured, the colour and flavour of the moment.
Thank you so much. I only see washboards in Cajun and Zydeco music. A few bands usually come around in the summer.
he’s quite a character!! such a vibrant shot indeed, Chris!!
Thank you, Alex. New Orleans is a colorful place.
Cool pic! Colorful indeed and how fun he must have been!
He was a lot of fun. Thanks, Nancy.
Nice pic Chris! Tells a colorful story with music even! I love the green meow in the background.
Thanks, Sandra. I know, I love the green meow also. I made sure to get it in the frame. 😊
He looks like the real deal!
He certainly was!

That is a very good picture! I wish I could hear him play!
He was pretty good!
Your capture speaks volumes…really well done. I have heard someone playing a washboard…where I really can’t remember, but the sound came into my head the moment I saw your capture!! Well done!
Thank you so much Kirt. It is a distinctive sound and really fun to see it played. There used to be a local group and the drummer would dance around playing the washboard.
Great image Chris 👍
It’s an awesome shot! One that makes you hear the music at mere sight!
Thank you, Sarah
