E Pluribus Unum

NPR Commentator Chris Rose captures what it's like living in New Orleans one year later.

And, although I have no idea if Ry Cooder has a New Orleans connection, I love this performance of Jesus On The Main Line so much that I'm including it here. It's from the Catalyst In Santa Cruz, c. 1987, with Jim Keltner (dr), Van Dyke Parks (key), Flaco Jimenez (acc), George Bohanon (tb), and who knows who else. Check out that tiny guitar!
