Day 3 begins with Sherry, Chris Ryan and our
Security Lady Natalia
holding down the tarp as everyone else scurries for breakfast
Sherry then went to Economy Hall for
the Onward Brass Band
and on this day the Onward Brass Band was
Grand Marshaled by
Sherry's good friend and the King of Krewe du Vieux 2003
the always incredible Uncle Lionel Batiste
Sherry joined Uncle Lionel as he led a Second Line through the tent
and Uncle Lionel enjoys it more than anybody
Uncle Lionel thanks Sherry for joining him
and gives her a Jazz Fest kiss
after that a girl needs a frozen Cafe Au Lait
and some Strawberry Shortcake from Duke's
mom Cele
here we see Duke's brother Judah about to
get
a beard full of whip cream for sleeping on the job
it was then time to enjoy
Bob French and the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band
sitting in with Bob French is the guy who
was
all over the Fest, Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews
Bill Taylor and Sherry both agreed "Shorty
da man"
while walking back on the track Sherry ran
into Ashley Hansen
the smiling face that greets you at the World Famous Hansen's Snow Bliz
Sherry then ran into Deb and Paul who she
met through JuJu
who shocked everybody by not making it to Jazz Fest
over at the Fais Do-Do Stage Sherry's good
friend

Sherry meanwhile went to the Blues Tent to
watch her neighbor Donald Harrison Jr
turn in a great set of Jazz and then...
retake the stage the stage as Big Chief Donald
Harrison

in equally colorful costumes were the
Carolina Tuscarora Indians
Dusk and Judy were up front with
Sherry to enjoy the action
Sherry decided to go international for lunch
on Saturday with the Cuban Sandwich
Sherry, Grasshopper and the Goo

Sherry then went to Congo Square to take in
the sights
and sounds of the Plastic System Band of Martinique
Karl Bremer, Randy, Sherry and JFJ
enjoying the exotic rhythms at Congo Square
Sherry, Tracy Malone & Toni Gambino
get together to compare hats
then Sherry and the gang grab a picture with
Queen Inertia 2003-Kathrine Cargo
then out came Quint looking for Sherry,
which meant time to change stages
back at the Louisiana Heritage stage it
was the Theresa Andersson Group
Sherry spotted Tommy and Aleisha
for the first time at this years Fest
Theresa then ripped off her skirt and performed
the
rest of her set in strategically placed body paint
(by the way, she sounded great too)
Sherry spotted her old friend Angelina Butera
and
Angelina introduced Sherry to EP, the other
co-host of the new Louisiana Jukebox
just like all the rest of us,
Sherry loves a parade with Stilt Walkers from Martinique
Sherry and Juls stop to compare notes....
Sherry says she is off to see the man she's waited for all day
Sam Butera & The Wildest
Sherry joined the Butera family to catch the
set...

Sherry's old friend Harry Shearer was backstage
with his wife and great singer Judith Owens
here we have a cross section of New Orleans wildest
Sherry admires Frenchy's on the spot
interpretation of Sam Butera's peformance
immediately after the last photo the painting
slid off the chair
and left another Frenchy original on Sherry's hand
John Goodman was also enjoying Sam Butera
but was quick to take time for a photo with Sherry
Sherry told Sam Butera he is still the wildest
and
there was no better way to end a day of Jazz Fest
and Bill Taylor confirms it to Sherry....
that's a wrap on Day 3
