Cocaine and Heartbreak, Dapper Men, and Pomeranian Hats - Happy Hour - It's New Orleans

On a literally freezing New Orleans afternoon, looking fabulous despite braving icy steets and sidewalks, two dapper dudes and a fashion forward yogi warm up Happy Hour with talk of hot Buti yoga, hot jazz and soul, and hot off the presses. Four years ago Joseph Makkos responded to a Craig s List ad ... and ended up with 30,000 transparent plastic tubes, each containing a single edition of a New Orleans newspaper printed between 1888 and 1929. Joseph now manages that archive and hopes to partner with the first virtual carnival krewe to turn old newspapers into new media. He and C Rock team up to tell the story of the infamous "crazed New Orleans axe man" not the two year terrorization of New Orleans by a serial axe murderer, but the more interesting story of perhaps an early instance of fake news tune in He also reads a timely and absolutely poetic newspaper account of an 1885 New Orleans snow. Baye Tilson is a yoga instructor who likes "all the yogas" especially Buti and practices club level yoga at some of the hottest nightclubs in town. Baye says she doesn t not discriminate if someone wants to have a drink before or during yoga she s happy to open up the balcony. Her pomeranian hat inspired a Facebook request for details, but Baye couldn t buy it again if she tried her fashion sense leads her finds that can t be duplicated. Speaking of one of a kind, Andre Lovett is a singer songwriter whose influences range from 50s and 60s soul crooners to 90s RnB artists to Al Green and ... John Meyer who C Rock admits he thinks is a chump ... no disrespect, the Grateful Dead suck too . Andre sings a song he wrote in 2014 in Seattle just after an inspirational breakup, and a song he wrote after moving here in 2015. An exceptional singer songwriter and a beautiful dresser. April and C Rock guest host for Grant on C Rock s birthday and a week after April s happy birthday guys .See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
