Sauntering down Avenue Royale, we were stopped in our tracks by the Hobo Band playing on the corner of St. Peter and Royale. We hadn't stopped to actually listen to any of the musicians up to this point, but they were just GREAT! That held us at that spot just long enough to see a Dixie Land band marching down St. Peter toward us ... obviously in celebration of someone recently passed. As they passed by, they launched into a Dixie Land version of "I'll Fly Away" ... the very song my sisters and I sang at mom's memorial not 3 weeks ago.
