Mama Roux's New Orleans Gumbo

Join us today as we listen to music about the wetlands of Louisiana and help us get the word out about the manmade devastation that is impacting the entire United States - both environmentally and economically. Go to www.ameriaswetland.com or www.voiceofthewetlands.org for more information about both the problems of this area and how you can help.

Find out what we can learn about love from the music of New Orleans - the most romantic city in the USA!

Irvin Mayfield, John Boutte and Anders Osborne are three musicians dedicated to carrying on the traditions of New Orleans music and culture. Mayfield's album "A Love Letter to New Orleans" tells the story of his evolution as a New Orleans artist, educator and most recorded and decorated jazz musicians of his generation. John Boutte started out singing in school, moved to the Army and then became a street singer in New Orleans learning his craft literally from the ground up. Anders Osborne's guitar playing is incredible but it's his voice that leaves us begging for more in his album entitled "American Patchwork". Struggle, loss, recovery, death and of course, love - as Anders confronts some of his demons and tries to balance the past with the present.
