King Of The Stroll (New Orleans R&B 1949-1959) - Tommy Ridgley

r&b classics only gives you old timers nothing new (shame)

Advantages: lots of differnet artists
Disadvantages: so many you get mixed up

this cd full of your old r and b songs is full of collabirations for me a young teenager this doesnt really satisfy my needs half of the artists are really ancient. not up to scratch with the new stuff, cant even touch the emotion of quality of new artists. but this cd isnt all bad it does have a few pro's like: it has a few decent artists but just not that many and this cd will give you so many hours of sing song fun. it has so many different styles of artists varying from the amazingly talented justin timberlake to the wacky and crazy 50 cent. hope that my review has helped (to be honest this is probably the worst reveiw ive done please look at my others though matty2k9) thank-you ...

Review of 100 R&B Classics (Parental Advisory) - Various Artists

2007: New Orleans is recovering & worth visiting!

Advantages: Still the most beautiful city in the US

I've been back there several times since the storm, and have a few thoughts. I myself am an expatriate New Orleanian. Born and raised there, I've lived away for several decades, but still have ties and visit occasionally. As it happened, one of those visits was on the weekend before Hurricane Katrina hit.

The house I grew up in was lucky: it was on the edge of the flood zone (which covered nearly the entire city, except for the older parts of town hugging the Mississippi River), and so only (only!) had four feet (1.3 meters) of flooding ...

Review of New Orleans

New Orleans

Advantages: Friendly people, relaxed atmosphere. Be prepared to party, and party hard!
Disadvantages: Keep away from the tacky and overpriced tourist area.

My visit to New Orleans was pretty atypical, myself and a friend hired an aircraft and flew ourselves there from Georgia. For any pilots reading this, the trip was a good one, flying IFR and using Houston Centre for Flight Following and a Radar Service. being typically American aviation, the service was excellent and efficient, and despite being two semi-lost Brits in a single engined aircraft we never had the feeling that they were giving us anything but their friendly, polite best. New Orleans Lake Front Airfield is a controlled airfield about eight miles out from the city centre and has two parallel runways that extend into the Mississippi, undershoot and you're swimming. The facilities were good, offering cheap Avgas and a courtesey car, (Which had been commandeered by the time we go there!), tie down cost 20 dollars, but that was ...
