Zoom Rex. Mardi Gras in New Orleans, 1906. Abby and I adore Mardi Gras, and we’re inclined to mourn having missed it this year by looking through favorite old photos and listening to New Orleans music. I’m not sure if it helps or makes it worse, but I do know that these are some of my fondest memories, and there’s some damn fine music, too.
