Yes, I do know what it means to miss New Orleans

But, when I'm feeling that way, I listen to New Orleans Jukebox Gold, oldies legend Bob Walker's New Orleans radio series, whose playlists are incredibly deep and the trivia he digs up on the artists is unmatched. His "It's Mardi Gras" show brings me back to being kids and dressing up to go to see the parades. There's even special programs featuring such local curiosities as Mr. Bingle, Morgus the Magnificent, and of course Pontchartrain Beach. Anybody remember the Zephyr?!
