Bassist prefers the Mississippi's low end

Posted at 4:28 PM on May 22, 2007 by Don Lee

"When I evacuated after Katrina, I landed a great job with the Minnesota Orchestra, but Minneapolis closes up too early to play two gigs a night. I had to get back here as soon as I could. I was going crazy away from New Orleans."
