This week's episode, titled "Summer Days And Nights," focuses on ways to pass a summer day and night in New Orleans, with music by Bobby Charles, Allen Toussaint, the Iguanas and many others. We also spend time fishing with piano player Matt Lemmler, and eating snowballs with locals before catching a streetcar uptown for a night of music.
