Dear Gus & Magnus,

We went to the aquarium this morning, had lunch at Mother's, stopped to get Mom a frozen Irish coffee at Molly's, then went home for a nap. For dinner we all went to Three Muses, which is a place I used to drop into when I lived here, but I'd never actually been for dinner. Gus didn't care much for the atmosphere, even though the horn player (James Williams) kept trying to interact with him.

Magnus, however, ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. The music in this city is doing something to his soul, and by association, to mine and Mom's. When Washboard Chaz took the stage, he started playing his own "washboard," which got the attention of Chaz. It was a bit of a magical moment. Mom and I noted how much it would have meant to my dad and Papou to have seen it because they each loved this city so much.

Dad.

New Orleans, Louisiana. 12.28.2023 - 8.00pm.

UPDATE (1.2.2024): Gus asked me yesterday about this night. James had a person from the audience come on stage and play his trumpet. Gus -- the burgeoning germaphobe that he is -- was concerned that they didn't wash the horn in between one man playing it and the other playing it. He also said, "It's basically like they're kissing each other." I told him it was a risk the men were willing to take in the name of creating art.
