“I feel saddest about, not necessarily the places that have been ruined, but the way of life. New Orleans is like no where else. People live for the music. People live for the moment. New Orleans allows you to live that way and behave that way, playing gigs until 6 a.m. any night of the week. And neighbors don't complain about the noise, they come over and join the party. I'm wondering if it's ever going to get back to that.”
“The biggest challenge is figuring out how to get gear together and keep working. It's more about the stuff that's irreplaceable, like the master recordings. It's hard to book gigs with no promotional material. It's very complex. I imagine it's that way for every walk of life. There's just so many far reaching effects from something like this.”
