Is This Your Dog? - Happy Hour - It's New Orleans

You might remember Tommy Hayne from the news. Tommy was the guy who got shot recently when he tried to convince a would be car thief to quit trying to bust into cars. He recovered quickly enough to play in an Ultimate Frisbee tournament a few days later but it turns out getting shot wasn t the only crazy thing he s done. He d been shot once before and in between those two firearm incidents he d jumped off of a cliff with a poncho over his face, opened a natural food store in Wyoming, and left his dog off of the leash while he got coffee at CC s on Magazine Street in New Orleans. If you re wondering how leaving your dog off the leash compares with crazy sh t like getting shot and jumping off cliffs, listen up. Emily Istre has had a whole set of other adventures that started when she dropped out of UL in Lafayette and took a random chance on finding herself in Las Vegas. Not only did Emily discover she had the skills to make it as a singer, band leader, and dancer in Vegas, she also found herself working with Celine Dion and Oprah Winfrey, and, following in the footsteps of Elizabeth Taylor, playing Cleopatra. Rathbone makes a return to Happy Hour with a new sound and a new band Mark Linam and Courtney, who is half of People Museum. Rathbone s new music is awesome and is appearing fresh each month here. Reflecting on being shot, Tommy observes that life throws you a number of chances to make decisions that can turn out to be startlingly wrong. Everybody else has made one of those too.
