Lagnaippe "A Little Something Extra" When I got here, I decided this had to be God's best kept secret, Louisiana. With it's proud people and a rich culture of laughter. colors, flavors and music. Junior is a Bluesman, nothing in his pocket, 'cept his keys and a bit of lint, his heart brimmin with love and a head full of stories 'bout growing up on the Mississippi Delta. We took a road trip to Ferriday, the hometown of Jerry Lee Lewis and the proud establishment, ZZ's Juke Joint, where I found the true meaning to those words, "Southern Hospitality." I tipped back Charter from a bottle that had my name on it, not uncommon for the "Charter Club", and I was the newest member. Blues, and brews and Caroline's fried catfish. We drove home to the sound of the crickets and filtered light from a Cajun Moon hanging low over the water, sending out ripples of contentment as surely as stars twinkle. I could hear the pine trees whispering to the hum of the engine as the Blues Mobile weaved it's way through the bayou. This was a long way from the LA that I had known........ ~nea |
