Hey!!!!

YOU, there! In Slidell, Looozianna! Who are you?! (Saw ya' on mah site meter!) Do I KNOW you?

Holla!

Howz Randazzo's? Sooo glad to hear they finally re-opened! Eat a cannoli for me. They make the BEST!

And while I'm bein' pushy, could ya' traverse Hwy. 11, (south-bound), and give a hat-tip (or cross your heart), when ya' pass by what used to be Gatemouth Brown's old place?
I'd love you for it. I miss him so.
(For those of you not familiar, google "Gatemouth", and "meet" a musical MASTER. When not touring, WORLD-wide, he was my neighbor, and a dear friend.)

And, while yer down that way, would ya' purdy please, go on down a lil further to Rat's Nest Road...to where Vera's used to be?
Would you remember with me... for a while...the sticky, red booths, red and white checkered curtains, and the lap of Lake Pontchartrain's waves below: the decades old place where generations of loyal customers gorged themselves nightly, on decadent, stuffed shrimp, and gazed over the inky lake, towards Nawlins, and the lights of the C.B.D.?

That would be nice...
