Memories of New Orleans



Just a few memories from New Orleans to leave with you. We head off today at last along Highway 61 past Baton Rouge to Natchez where the riverboats loaded cotton from the plantations and the owners built their palatial homes. We leave the jazz behind and head for the cradle of Blues and Rock and Roll in the heart of the Delta.
