It’s Mardi Gras - a day of indulgence, parades, zydeco, and a celebration of all things New Orleans during annual Carnival celebrations that originate with the Christian period between Epiphany and Lent.
KGOU (and our listeners) celebrated the season Sunday afternoon with The Weekend Blues’ annual “Mardi Party” featuring music from the Crescent City and beyond.
“I stick my bulldog Georgia in the jeep, and sometimes my wife Kim too, and we head out and about and tune in to The Weekend Blueswith Hardluck Jim,” said Keith Gaddie, who’s no stranger to our audience because of his day job as the chair of the University of Oklahoma political science department and a regular contributor to KGOU during election season and the legislative session.
He also started his career at Tulane University during the mid-1990s.
“It reminds us of being back in New Orleans, especially this time of year,” Gaddie said.
