This week’s program brings you the blues, inflections of West Africa, as well as a moment of Gospel, accompanied with music from Marcia Ball, Toubab Krewe, the Johnny Vidacovich Trio, the late Tommy Ridgely and many more. We hear from a diplomat for the well-known spirit, Bombay gins, along with his take on some gin recipes for every season.

Alongside the music, Woody of Woody’s Fish Tacos gives us a a taste into some secrets that makes his eats unique. We close the program with a ferry trip across the mighty Mississippi for a set of music recorded live at the Old Point Bar in Algiers Point along with some traditions and history of the land across the river from the French Quarter.
