The City That Care Forgot

In da Big Easy sipping on our Hurricanes wandering to who-cares-where Pass an old court-yard Meters playing 'Cissy Strut' Funk echoes down Bourbon Street... *Art Neville (The Neville Brothers) was the organist and founder of the Meters. 'Cissy Strut' was their biggest hit. They reunited for a Katrina benefit concert with Aaron Neville as a guest vocalist Below are are the links to the song and ‘They All Axed (Asked) For You’ which has become a Mardi Gras classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_iC0MyIykM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1Vi795Wduc
