Today's Events: 12.26.11 WhoDat! and Happy Boxing Day from NOLA Defender! While, the holiday is English in origin, Boxing Day is a perfect New Orleans holiday. Basically, the holiday exists to provide 24 hours of recovery after Christmas; so, holiday revellers can recover before going to back to work. However, today the Saints are going back to work, and Mr. Ghetto and George Porter will provide some lagniappe after the game. Today's Events: 5/2/11 May 2, the day that President Johnson offered a $100,000 reward for the capture of Jefferson Davis, in relation to his being behind Lincoln’s assassination, 1865. Eight days later, Jefferson would eventually be captured by Federal/Union troops. On this day in 1949, Arthur Miller received the Pulitzer for his ‘Death of Salesman’; ironically, Joseph McCarthy died eight years later, on this same day, as did Leonardo Da Vinci, in 1519. Lake Charles, LA’s favorite astronaut Domonic L Pugwill Gorie was born (1957), and Diane Crump became the first female jockey to compete in the Kentucky Derby (1970). Scofield's Piety Street PowerA NoDef Music Review John Scofield performed at Tiptinas this past Saturday night with his latest collaboration, the Piety Street Band. A blues and gospel based combo, this quartet is composed of heavyweights Scofield on guitar, Jon Cleary on piano and organ, George Porter Jr. on bass, and Terrence Higgins on drums. While seeing anyone of these players individually is an event in and of itself, a tour de force such as this was not to be missed.
