In our "Yeah, You Right!" interview series, we toss 20 rapid-fire questions at some of the New Orleans music scene's brightest stars. Some of their answers will surprise you, so sit back and enjoy the ride!

This week's guest, J. Monque'D, is one of those masters of the blues who has transcended great personal hardship and turned it into something beautiful to share with audiences around the world. He's performed with some of New Orleans' greatest, like Dr. John and Earl King, and he regularly plays all over town with his own group, the J. Monque'D Blues Band.
