Gimme More Hope: Resilience and Improvisation in Music, Food & Drink
We’re seeking out hope in a cold, dark season with warm conversation and music. We check in on the places in New Orleans that keep us connected, even in these isolating times, from Li’l Dizzy’s Cafe in Treme to Pete’s Out in the Cold Lounge in the Irish Channel to see how they’re faring. Then a round with Joe Krown at the 88s…on wheels, the Piano on a Truck. Plus songs by Bob Dylan, Bessie Smith, Otis Redding, and Dolly Parton.
