On Friday, April 24, 2009 New Orleans' Preservation Hall Jazz Band was joined by legendary American singer/songwriter Pete Seeger, his grandson Tao, and their band for a very special recording session. Recorded a week before Pete's 90th birthday celebration, this video shows a man who is still moved by the power of song.
"In addition to being America's best-loved folk singer and an untiring environmentalist, Pete Seeger is a national treasure. He has been at the forefront of the labor movement, the struggle for Civil Rights, the peace and anti-war movements, and the fight for a clean world. He has been a beacon of hope for millions of people all over the world..." (from the Pete Seeger appreciation page - http://www.peteseeger.net)

April 30 – May 2, New Orleans: The New Orleans Bingo! Show is proud to announce a brand new line of ladies’ accessories from local boutique designer Nolatideaux. Available online at www.NewOrleansBingoShow.com and at all Bingo! Show performances in the new BLINGO! Booth, this exciting new line features necklaces, earrings, and limited edition hand-made cocktail hats based on favorite songs by The New Orleans Bingo! Show.
Inspired by the rich traditions of costuming and revelry that permeate daily life here in New Orleans, Nolatideaux specializes in festive one-of-a-kind handmade accessories to add a little “fête sur la tete”. From cocktail hats to barrettes, each Nolatideaux piece contains a little bit of history, often created from materials forgotten- remnants of Mardi Gras costumes, cuttings from well-loved clothing, vintage appliqués and beads.
