Keb Mo and Anders Osborne

On their way to New Orleans,
Keb Mo and Anders Osborne made a stop in Lafayette, LA.
They truly put on an epic performance at AcA!
The band was awesome and especially Kevin So on keyboard made a phenomenal impression!!
It was the first time for me to enjoy a performance at AcA,
which makes for a first class venue!
Sorry for the poor quality photo, (iPhone).

Gaywynn enriched the house with this beautiful painting by Elemore Morgan Jr.
The painting shows the house the Morgans once lived in.
It found a perfect spot on the bedroom wall, right by the window.
Anytime the sunlight peeks through the window,
it seems the colors in the painting come to life....

New Beginnings...

A new year has started and as always I am in favor of starting a new chapter!
LSU, UL-Lafayette and the Saints have had an incredible run and I am proud of how they performed, in spite of how LSU and the Saints finished.
A lot of "what ifs" will remain, yet their records speak for themselves...
At least they provided for good news coming forth out of Louisiana!

I look forward to the new and truly hope 2012 will make for a wonderful year.
Next week will be fun, first seeing and hearing Keb Mo live at the AcA.
Then a weekend in New Orleans, which will make for a first return since hurricane Katrina...
There has not been an apparent reason not to go back, it just so happened.
Hope to post some pictures of those events soon ;)

Geaux Tigers!!!
