TBC Brass Band Live at the Blue Nile
After the Men of Class second-line, I grabbed a dinner at Tru Burger on Oak Street, and then headed down to Frenchmen Street to catch my homeboys in the TBC Brass Band at their Blue Nile gig. I was somewhat torn, as Victor Goines was performing at Snug Harbor several doors down from the Nile, but I always support To Be Continued whenever I’m in New Orleans, 10/21/12
