Happy Mardi Gras, everyone. 100 years ago, in 1919, Mardi Gras festivities were limited in New Orleans because of the recently concluded war, but the people of Morgan, Louisiana were invited to a Mardi Gras dance, featuring a jazz band. "Jazz" spelled that way was a fairly new word. "All invited."
This is not a jazz band, but I have always liked the Wild Tchoupitoulas.
