Live After 5 in Baton Rouge, La 2014



I had the pleasure of being onstage with David St. Romain and Chris Leblanc at the "Live After 5" event on May 22, 2014. I played harmonica on Tom Petty's "Last Dance for Mary Jane" and  Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally". Afterward I met a lot of new friends and fans. This has to be one of my highlights as a musician here in Baton Rouge, La.

Mayor Kip Holden was out and about dressed up in his Western outfit celebrating The Bayou Country Superfest for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.

My wife is chauffeuring many of the performers to and from their hotel rooms to the stage at Tiger Stadium, I know this is also a thrill for her. We both enjoy being in the music business to the fullest.
