Men of Class at Joe’s House of Blues, New Orleans
The stops along a second-line route are primarily places for the parading organization to show honor and respect to other organizations (and vice versa), but large crowds gather at these spots, many of which are traditionally-significant locations, so the intersections become sudden venues, at which dancers show off their creativity and skill and vendors sell their food, drinks or other products. Note the second-liner who is dancing on the roof of Joe’s House of Blues, Uptown New Orleans, 10/21/12
The Men of Class Second-Line Uptown
The Men of Class second-line works its way through Uptown to Joe’s House of Blues at Seventh and Dryades. This neighborhood bar is known as a venue for Mardi Gras Indian practices, and also has the occasional live blues or soul band. 10/21/12

#240 Stooges Brass Band Why You Worried About Me Men of Class 2012 (by John Shaw)
This was the first time I have heard the Stooges play this song, which I usually associate with the TBC or the Rebirth Brass Band. This was the Men of Class 2012 second-line leaving the first stop and heading south on Louisiana Parkway, 10/21/12
