Sherry was back out at the fairgrounds early
on Friday
and greeted her old buddy the "How Ya Gonna Clap" guy
once inside it was time for breakfast
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries and the Gospel Tent
and the uplifting music of
Charles Jackson & The Jackson Travelers
demonstrating to Sherry that he still has
his wits about him,
Bill Taylor signifies it truly is day 2
Sherry makes a generous application of suntan
lotion and
gets ready for the action at the Professor Longhair Stage
(Sherry prefers not to mention foreign automobile sponsors with great music,
besides we all know that Fess drove a Caddy)
and getting it rolling was Cajun great Jo-El Sonnier
back in the grandstand Sherry admires a beautiful
display of colorful dance outfits from Martinique
and gets some great ideas for next years Mardi Gras costume
while in the grandstand area Sherry gave visitors
an
impromptu demonstration of the Sherry Wave©
becoming so used to having her picture taken
Sherry
now lines up and smiles at any gathering of 2 or more
then at the Jazz Tent it was time for the
incredible
Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews and this day he was
joined on stage by his brother James and cousin Glen
and brother James Andrews was quick
to grab Sherry when he got off stage
as a special treat for the Jazz Fest crowd
Troy
played an entire solo on 2 trumpets simultaneously
and brought out the Divine Divas to show the
crowd
how ya move to this type of music
Sherry's old friend Shalanda is member of
the Dancing Divas
and she brought the other girls over for a picture with her friend
back on stage Troy (with his trademark trombone)
and band member James Martin take their well
deserved bows after ripping up the Jazz Tent
then Trombone Shorty grabbed his favorite
girl who
he always refers to as Italian Shorty
Sherry and Brooks check out Frenchy's
interpretation of Trombone Shorty's set
then it was back out to the field and time
for a BBQ Oyster with Blue Cheese Po-Boy
and then Julie helps Sherry wash it down
with her special mix of Vodka & Gatorade
(ya gotta keep them electrolytes replenished)
then it was time for the New Birth Brass Band
led by Glen Andrews
and a guest appearance by cousin Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews
Sherry was proud of Tim Ryan for sporting
his new
Adventures of Sherry T-Shirt at the Fest
then back to the Jazz Tent for Sherry as she
enjoyed Leroy Jones and New Orleans Finest
Sherry then ran into Lou Barrone, a member
of the
New Orleans Jazz Vipers and the houseband for
the Viper's Ball back in week # 45
Sherry was excited to run into the Gov &
Allison
for a quick round of blowing bubbles
and then back to the tarp where Tim Ryan
has apparently decided it was nap time
but Sherry was ready to rock as it was time for....
Bob Dylan
Sherry and Brooks Smith were glad to be a
part of Kim Stephens first ever Bob Dylan concert
Dylan played mostly piano during a brilliant set
crowd singing "Like A Rolling Stone"
to
close out Day 2 at the Fairgrounds
but that night Sherry went to Jimmy's Music
Club
and one of Sherry's favorites, the band formerly
known as the Subdudes, then formerly known as the Dudes
and now again known as the Subdudes
Sammy Neal joined in as Jimmy Messa
and Steve Amadee got down and funky
Sherry and her new friends Milan and Jack
agreed that the Subdudes are back in great form
