As usual, list sucks. No Harry Connick Jr is a disgrace.

No way he makes the list. He stole my girl and moved up North.

Are you going people born in New Orleans? I thought Tennessee Williams was born in Mississippi.

Mississippians.

And your list not including John Kennedy Toole is a travesty. I would think that you would be a big fan.

Louis Armstrong dumped New Orleans for Chicago when he was 21 and never looked back but he’s treated like a God.

Fats was New Orleans tried and true.

How do you miss Patricia Clarkson?
On my list:
Ruthie "Duck Girl" Moulon
The Chicken Man
JD Hill (JD and the jammers)
Ned "Hoaky" Hickel
Nikki Reyes
Rhonda Shear
Harry Shearer (He's been here long enough)
Maybe Russell Erxleben or Danny Wuerful. (If N.O. was a person)
