Patty Burnaman Reporting...
The music never stops here in the Crescent City even in this time of social isolation. Keith Spera from The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate, tells us where you can hear one of New Orleans' best trumpet players, go to a happy hour, and take a piano lesson this weekend, in the comfort of your own home.
This Saturday at 2 p.m., Kermit Ruffins is live-streaming a show from his Facebook page which is RuffinsBBQ. Also on Saturday, piano player and singer Jon Cleary, who played with people like Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, and Dr. John has a couple of events that he is calling his ‘Quarantini World Tour’.
He is giving a one hour piano lesson on Saturday at noon on his Facebook page, Jon Cleary Music, then on Tuesday at 8 p.m. he is doing a live concert where he will be taking requests , telling stories and giving fans a peek behind the curtain.” And if you should feel so inclined, the musicians would very much appreciate a tip through Venmo or pay pal.
