Music in my region ranges from zydeco to brass band to traditional New Orleans jazz to bounce to suicide boys to weezy
Defo a place where a lot of genres were birthed
I chose Allan toussaint cause he was integral in New Orldans music as a whole
Dude has been sampled nearly 1200 times
Which is nuts

I absolutely LOVE Mardi Gras.
King Cakes.
Red beans and rice (maybe a hamhock thrown in there).
The parades and the krewes that stage them (yes, beads are de rigueur). All the throws being tossed into the crowds on Bourbon Street.
Moon pies and jambalaya.
The masks. The marching brass bands and their instantly recognizable second-line sound.
ALL of it.
But the Funky Meters from New Orleans may well be the house music for this festival.
God bless the Neville fam. Go get you some.

In this regard, to what I like to call a funk.
I feel très dookie. Lots of change in my life, and in times of instability I tend to fall off the horse- in a major way. Like many ppl. This past go round I have been excessively hard on myself over my general lacking in… well almost everything. Ive come to the conclusion that there are times you have to give yourself more grace than you’d like to. Maybe the pity party can last a couple more days than usual. I won’t go into details, bc as those of you reading who have dealt with mental health struggles, it can be sort of gross. Sure. There’s a ton I could be doing to put an end to my funk. Make more of an effort to dig myself out of the hole. But, at the end of the day I know I will come out of the funk in my own time. Faking myself out, and convincing myself I’m feeling better serves no one.
Making yourself feel worse over feeling bad in the first place is just wildly counterproductive. Just keep moving forward in time. There’s a lot of it <3
