![]() ![]() The weather was perfect, and we spent the early part of our day taking in some of our favorite local acts. We donned our rain boots and headed out early on Friday, in an effort to maximize our time. ![]() It would be my fewest number of Jazzfest days in at least a decade, but two days were better than nothing, especially since these were the two days my graduating son had chosen to go with me. I mean, it’s the Stones…who could fault me for abandoning the family for one little day? When Mick’s health forced them to cancel, I opted out of Thursday, and with some serious graduation crawfish boil prep work to do, I also bailed on Sunday, leaving me with only Friday and Saturday of weekend one. (See what I did there?) My plan was to attend three days the first weekend, and Stones Thursday the second weekend, even though graduation guests would be arriving that day. While I knew that my days would be limited this year, the four Rolling Stones tickets tucked away in my jewelry box had me pretty jazzed. That year was a level of special that will be difficult to duplicate, but I will never say never. I had lucked out four years earlier when my daughter graduated, as her ceremony was later, resulting in Brass Passes and the full seven days for both of us. ![]() When I looked at the school calendar last summer and saw that my son’s high school graduation was May 4 of this year, I knew my Jazzfest experience for 2019 would be cut short. I refer to Mardi Gras as the most wonderful time of the year, but honestly, the two weekends of Jazzfest are equally wonderful if you’re a music lover like me. If y’all know me at all, you know that I am a huge fan of Jazzfest. By Julie Clements on in Music Festivals, New Orleans Life ![]()
