A Party for Baton Rouge
2008.05.06
83-year-old blues pianist Henry Gray leads his group, "The Cats".
|
At the Blues Festival the rule was "no playing in the fountain". Obviously that didn't apply at Fest For All.
|
Dancing in Galvez Plaza
|
The Cats pick and blow.
|
Top this, Dancing With the Stars
|
Fest For All decorative touch
|
The couple in front are close friends of mine. They love to dance.
|
Talk about a backlit shot!
|
To my photographic relief, the sun dips behind the Old State Capitol.
|
New Orleans jazz trumpeter Kermit Ruffins was the closing act on this stage.
|
Energetic dancers
|
Percussionist for either Henry or Kermit
|
Do that again!
|
Ruffins and his keyboardist
|
Ready for zydeco or to scrub clothes
|
Red-suited Jimmy Winfield was an unbilled guest of Kermit Ruffins.
|
Line dance
|
Getting the last of that drink.
|
A solitary light comes on as twilight approaches. Fest For All attracts folks from all over Baton Rouge.
|
Something to hold on to
|
I thought that they guy with the beard was a very interesting looking character.

Well you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
Kick off your shoes and
you throw them on the floor
Dance in the kitchen 'till the morning light
Louisiana Saturday Night
Louisiana Saturday Night, Hall and Newman (popularized by Alabama among others)
Louisiana enters the almost continuous festival mode in the spring. On Sunday afternoon we went to Fest For All in downtown Baton Rouge to hear live music and check out great arts and crafts.

Good action shots of a good time. I haven't been able to go for the last few years due to my work schedule.
