1. There's so much about my Louisiana I dislike

Why do I love her so?

5. The summer night air that feels like velvet on your skin. The Spanish moss gracing the oaks.

Mardi Gras. Crawfish season. Sipping coffee and chicory with your fingers dusted with the powdered sugar from the beignets you just wolfed down. Drinking Dixie beer, fishing for catfish in the bayou with good friends. Seeing a snow white egret flash across a dark gray sky that's about to burst open with sheets of rain.

Need I go on?


I only lived in New Orleans for 5 years about 40 years ago, but they were my formative teen years. The sights, smells and tastes will never leave my heart.

2. (Don't Mess with) My Toot Toot -John Fogerty

Note: Rockin' Sidney wrote the song and taught it to Fogerty; he's the dude playing the accordion. I wish I knew who the sax player was.

4. I don't think I ever tripped harder learning who wrote a song as I did when I found out this one ...

After thinking it was a Creedence song for ages ...

[Brother Buzz]

6. John Fogerty listened to a lot of late night country music on his Am radio

Bakersfield played more than just Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.

9. In 1952...he wrote it.

11. Sorry But Nobody Compares to Hank
