If you’re feeling Jazz Fest FOMO already, you can now relive a piece of JRAD’s 5/5/2018 gig at NOLA’s Mardi Gras World Ballroom.
The pro-shot video details a fiery “Cumberland Blues”> “Big River” jam, stretching well past the 17-minute mark. This jam also marked the first time JRAD segued back into the “Cumberland Blues Reprise” since October 2017.

Bands like Likey Do Do and Slob A Mess. Mike Hunt’s band is good too. Shake it down Shake it Down Shake it down down in the brick house. And let the belly rolls all hang out.

But how about foregoing these random footnote characters in favor of a (1) (2) (3) or (a) (b) (c) format if you would like your readers to actually to easily and actually follow the references!
