Saxman47 Loc: Lorton, VA

A walk through the French Quarter, in New Orleans, is a musical adventure, by any means. Caught these two aspiring drummers polishing their rhythmic skills in “Get On The Backbeat.”
“I Can See…For Miles” highlights the barriers that music, IMHO, tears down, i.e. an obvious difference in age disappears in the impromptu street performance.
A sunny day on the National Mall and the sweet melody of a lone harmonica…what’s not to love?
“Into The Mystic” - Van Morrison would approve, I believe.
“Make Levees, Not War” - Ivan Neville performing with Dumpstafunk.
Nick Daniels performing with the band Dumpstafunk and very “into” the tune.
Ira Neville, also performing with Dumpstafunk.
“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” captures the climax of an emotional solo.

I hope you enjoy these glimpses into my appreciation for all kinds of musical expression.

Nice set. I especially like the first one, and the contrast between the two drummers’ expressions.

mcnamara, you're very perceptive. Intensity versus carefree indifference?

So “You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans” PAR4DCR. Sorry, I just couldn't pass up the musical sub-reference. What an amazing city. I was only there for three days and I fell in love. I can't wait to get back. Thanks for viewing my photos and commenting.
