here's a tune I recorded the last time this happened

Louisana by Randy Newman

sorry about the lousy recording

this tune was originally written about a storm event in 1921

I took some liberties with the lyric

somebody's been trying wash Narlins away for a long time

i was a little baffled today because i thought we did our last Cabaradio show 3 years ago. But I guess it was only 2 years ago. .... because Katrina was 3 years ago and there were pieces in the show about Katrina.

So we only missed last year and this year? I thought we'd missed 3 years of shows but apparently only 2. That's a good thing. Would love to do it again. How about you?

Sorry to change the subject.

(nice recording)

I can't decide if Randy Newman's lyrics were historic or prophetic

"The levees have busted down to the Plaquemine ...."

same thing has happened again

The whole thing is just too coincidental for me.....the repubs trying to say, Hey see? Look at us now....Katrina never happened see? :roll:

and to think that McCain intends to accept his nomination via satellite from the hurricane torn gulf coast.... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
How stupid are we?
