Comments

Please please please live stream this tribute. Pretty well everyone on that stage will be WWOZ supporters in one way or another; and there has to be a particular performer who would understand the importance of having it on New Orleans' finest station. Get them workin' on it.....YES WE CAN!

And thanks again on behalf of all of us who can't be on-site......your broadcasts are like manna from heaven.....keep on chooglin'!

Last week you posted on the site the planned scheduled time for which sessions you'd stream LIVE or archived. It's Thursday and I don't see todays schedule. Since some will be delayed broadcasts I can't depend on the Jazz Fest schedule. It's 1:49 your time now on Thursday) PLEASE post the info ASAP for all your fans and reply here to let us know it's up. Thanks.

I just found it HERE:
