Looks like New Orleans Took Home 7 Grammy's

I enjoyed the Grammy many of the groups I like were awarded. When I started watching it was On time for Jennifer Hudson's performance. Very emotional tune. She broke out in tears at the end. Really Before the end .. everything she and her family has been through. and it's wild because yesterday wasn't the biggest event she's done already this year. but it was the first one she got emotional on.

At the End of the Night N.O Took Home 7 Grammy's

Beausoleil 1 mrgreen
Dr. John 1 mrgreen
Terrence Blanchard 1 mrgreen
Lil Wayne 4 mrgreen


Although I don't know Much About Beausoleil, I know The Others.. Speaking of that. Lil Waynes Performance was GOOD. I think he could have gotten a Real Buck Jump Squad to do the Buck Jumpin' ..LOL But hey Allen Toussaint, Terrence Blanchard and The Dirty Dozen took the cake for me. Toussaint playin' "Big Chief" made me Jump up!! Terrence Blanchard being part of that just made it much better! yep.

I mean I enjoyed Other Performances as well but THAT junk took the Cake for me!

Sorta shows where New Orleans Stands In Music. I just wish N.O could be "Live" as far as the Recording industry goes ..

Trust me. Beausoliel is IT, the top of the heap for that style. They are the Rolling Stones and Motown rolled into one, the iconic and the style maker. And damn but that finish with Lil' Wayne, Allen Toussaint, Dirty Dozen and Terence (and whoever that blue eyed soul singer dude was) was worth waiting up for even tho' I was on post Krewe du Vieux life support.

It was a good night for New Orleans and Louisiana music, and that number was the fireworks to finish it up.
