Heading to the Met
People sometimes express surprise that I gave up a career in medicine for one in music. During tough times, I’ve occasionally questioned that decision myself.

We hadn't been to the Crescent City since before Hurricane Katrina, and we went without much of a plan, except to find a beignet and keep our ears open.
