| Aaron Neville - "Louisiana 1927" |
 |
A Concert for Hurricane Relief, September 2,
2005. Aaron Neville performing "Louisiana
1927"
"The river rose all day, the river rose all
night
Some people got lost in the flood,
some people got away alright
The river has busted through clear down to
Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of
Evangeline
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away,
they're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away,
they're trying to wash us away
President Coolidge come down, in a railroad
train
Little fat man with a note pad in his hand
President say little fat man, oh isn't it a
shame,
What the river has done to this poor people's
land
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away,
you're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away,
they're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away,
they're trying to wash us away"
~Randy Newman

OUR HOME, LOUISIANA
A flickering lamp, a fire bright,
The lights are on again,
Graceful trees tell quiet tales,
And you remember then.
All our dreams head homeward, chere,
Smiles bring other smiles,
Neighbors, friends, and family join,
Together, we survive.
This is our love, This is our life,
This is our home, Louisiana,
This is our day, come what may,
This is our home.
A breaking dawn, a tender morn,
A canvas we design,
The band parades, a jester laughs,
We share momentous time.
And all our hopes flow back to you,
The music plays in time,
The river calls in majesty.
Together, we survive.
This is our love, This is our life,
This is our home, Louisiana,
This is our day, come what may,
This is our home.
Church bells ring, the children sing,
My sunshine, you are mine,
Hello old friend, I knew you when,
Together, we'll unwind.
May all our prayers be noble now,
May all our work be pure,
May we be thankful once again,
Together, we endure.
This is our love, This is our life,
This is our home, Louisiana,
This is our day, come what may,
This is our home.
This is our love, This is our life,
This is our home, Louisiana,
This is our day, come what may,
This is our home.

| Roaring 20s: Jan Garber's Orchestra - Louisiana (Razaf) 1928 |
 |
Jan Garber began his career on America's
bandstands as a modest quartet (including his
own violin) following World War I. It later
emerged as a 'hot band' in the 1920s; a
'sweet' band in the early 1930s through the
early 1940s; a 'swing' band during World War
II; and back to the 'sweet' style permanently
in late 1945.
The conoisseurs of the "hot dance music"
consider Jan Garber's 1920s style as
belonging to the very best achievements of
the dance music of the era. Andy Razaf's
"Louisiana" is a perfect example of the
possibilities of that band.
Recorded for Columbia, 1928

Although New Orleans celebrated Mardi Gras
this year we should never forget the
devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina and
how many lives have been changed forever by
this sad event in history. I produced this
slideshow to honor the people of Louisiana.
