New Orleans One Year Later

September 1, 2005 I was unsure I would ever be in New Orleans again as I watched the city sit in what was being called a toxic soup. I sure didn't envision being back at the Maple Leaf for the Krewe of Oak's Midsummer Mardi Gras again, or being in Congo Square on Katrina's anniversary for White Buffalo Day, the Voice of the Wetlands Allstars, Cyril Neville and his Tribe 13 in from Austin, TX, a drum circle and hundreds of other New Orleanians, back where it all began...........300 years ago........
