It’s All About The MONEY!!!
New Orleans is a unique place! Therefore you have to find unique ways to make money.
playing for the money!
acting for the money!
palm reading for the money!!
rolling cigars for the money!!
and more playing for the money!!
Only in New Orleans can you find such diversity and uniqueness! People have a way of surviving there. It is a place that once you go there you have to return. The atmosphere, the smells, the music, the buildings, there is no where else like it!!
