A trip to New Orleans with Mrs. E was lots of fun and very inspiring! This is a photo of the the musician’s tomb in St. Louis Cemetery #1. All the tombs are exclusively for family except this one. It is available for non-family New Orleans musicians. According to our tour guide, if you have New Orleans in mind as a final resting place, he suggests as a first step, moving here and learning to play an instrument… I especially like the blue note symbol in the center of the cross. The blue note is pretty darn important!
Our visit inspired me to write some music. This is “Upside Down in the Boneyard” and the name comes from a story our Uber drive told us on the way out of town.

New Orleans Weekend
And during some down time on our last day in N’awlens I put this down- “New Orleans Weekend”. Sounds like it has a sort of French influence to me. Or maybe that’s the fried oyster po’boy I hear… This sheet music you can get here
These were written with musescore btw which is FREE! and pretty easy to get a handle on. If you like music and you want to look under the hood a little I highly recommend it.
