An incredulous Campbell Brown shreds Bush's claim that the government responded quickly to Hurricane Katrina:
The Mahalia Jackson Theatre for the Performing Arts reopens this weekend. At one time, the Katrina damage to the theatre was thought to so extensive as to render the theatre a total loss. Here, Mahalia Jackson sings her overwhelming version of "We Shall Overcome:"
"Waterboarding is torture." So testified Attorney General nominee Eric Holder in as clear and unambiguous a statement as anyone could want. It's sad that something so obvious took so long for someone in an official position to recognize. There may be no greater indictment of the Bush Administration's cynicism than its continual claims that it was not pursuing torture as a policy...

If you're in New Orleans this weekend, don't miss the Danny Barker Centennial Celebration:
Danny Barker (1909-1994) was a tireless torch bearer of the unique culture of his home town. Barker's long career spans much of the history of Jazz; he had tap danced in infamous Storyville and later migrated to New York where he performed on more than 1000 recordings with such diverse artists as Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway, Charlie Parker, Lena Horne and his talented wife Blue Lu Barker. Danny's work with young talent in the creation of the Fairview Baptist Church Band was pivotal in the brass band revival of New Orleans in the 1980s that still flourishes today...Check out Danny's version of "Saint James Infirmary:"

Love to see Danny Barker getting his due; he was such a fantastic musician & songwriter-- the lyrics he came up with for St James Infirmary are worth a listen just by themselves. Mahalia Jackson is really just too amazing for words.

Barker was a fantastic musician, & in terms of songwriting wrote the memorable "Save the Bones for Henry Jones" (among other, less well-known tunes). He was a solid rhythm player both on the guitar & the banjo; & he was married to a fantastic singer, Blu Lu Barker. Sadly, it appears that the albums of both these fine musicians have been discontinued by the manufacturers....
