Jazz Fest Pics, Part 2

Here's a second round of pictures from the first weekend of the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.  The first set is here.) Above, that's zydeco band leader Rockin' Dopsie Jr., with the washboard, at the Fais Do Do stage. Once his set ended, Dopsie bolted across the Fairgrounds to join Simon & Garfunkel (and trumpeter Terence Blanchard Jr.) on "Cecilia."  My post on Treme, David Simon's new New Orleans HBO series, is here. Jazz Fest continues in New Orleans today through Sunday.

The Spyboy of the Creole Wild West Mardi Gras Indians meets his public. Note the binoculars with which he does his spying.
