Summary:
- New Orleans is the only town in the United States where you can find squeezebox accordions, alligators, bayous, hot food, hot weather and hot music all year 'round. every spring people of all ages pack their tank tops and head for 'Nawlins, where they groove to the music that blasts from juke joins, beer hall and living rooms as the city prepares itself for the biggest party of 'em all: Mardi Gras and the Jazz and Heritage Festival. The songs in this collection are more requested than Dixie Beer on a 90 degree day. So even if you can't make it to the Big Easy, break out the umbrellas, flag your spy boy and dig these New Orleans party Classics. Now, Mardi 'til you drop"-- [From container insert]
