New Orleans began with the two-night Ponderosa Stomp... An event which began with a wedding where the groom tried to recreate his jukebox live; it was so successful that the Stomp is now in its seventh year and the groom has developed a reputation for persuading artists who rarely if ever appear to play.One building, two nights, three stages and a multiplicity of choices.. Some of the notable acts we caught were Tammy Lynn, Ronnie Spector, Roky Erickson & The Explosives, Lazy Lester, Syl Johnson with the Hi Rhythm Section, the Mighty Hannibal, James "Sugarboy" Crawford (now selling God but still fine), Wiley and the Checkmates, Dr. John. It was absolutely wonderful.
