Trombone Shorty is a New Orleans Icon

Not on the same level as Dr.John.


The rest of your list is good. But Shorty isn’t as iconic as DJ. It’s an age thing.

How you figure? He hasn’t lived in New Orleans for decades. Rarely did he even visit.

This is a stupid post.

Harry Connick lives in New York. He is New Orleans

Wynton Marsalis and Louis Armstrong moved to New York, they are New Orleans

The Neville Brothers and Meters are New Orleans even though they moved to Nashville.

Dr. John is New Orleans even though he lived in L.A.

To make it big you pretty much have to move out of New Orleans, it's a shite town. Nobody moves to New Orleans to make it big. Only N.Y. or L.A. sometimes Orlando.

The difference is, all those guys regularly came back and still do.

Dr John only came around after Katrina and a Jazz Fest or 2

He sold out on New Orleans. That’s not a secret

Still money in his old age.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child.

Cyril & Aaron Neville as well

Aaron has been living in Houston since Katrina......so there’s that.
