There will be crowds and mud on JazzFest's second Saturday, but we know you don't have to think twice about heading over to the Fair Grounds. While you're awaiting the final hour pile up of Fleetwood Mac, Frank Ocean and Phoenix, check out a little fife, hip-hop and, from out of left field, Norah Jones. Here's today's non-headliner picks:

Carnival celebrations in New Orleans kept the local buzz about Sunday's Grammy awards in second place. But, don't worry, the music industry's big showcase brought a little bit of the Crescent City to the broadcast. Two of New Orleans' own took home golden record players. Later, Dr. John and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band joined the Black Keys on their award-winning "Lonely Boy."

Finally, Preservation Hall gets its Ed Sullivan moment. Well, kind of. The Hall's house band will join sometime collaborator Del McCoury tonight for a performance at the Ed Sullivan Theatre. They'll be on CBS' Late Show with David Letterman to promote their new album, "American Legacies." The show airs at 10:30 p.m. locally. Before the performance, there was apparently a little time for hijinks. Check out this photo of Band member Rickie Monie sitting in Paul Shaffer's seat.

The name of the Bonnaroo festival was birthed in our own city, by one of our own legends. This year, that Tennessee bachannal even gets that man, Dr. John, plus the reunion we've been pining after for years (The Meters). What do we get in return? Well, let's put it this way. The fest's theme song won't be sung by Tennessee Jed. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band teamed up with sometime collaborator and bluegrass deity Del McCoury to ramble off Bonnaroo (Feel the Magic), this year's fest theme song. The two legends are on tour together, and plan to play the fest. The song is billed as a one-off, but, true to form, it sounds better than the product of people's long, hard toil. Maybe McCoury will be out for the Hall's 50th anniversary celebration at Pres-Fest tonight. You won't know unless you go.

April 28th, when Muhammad Ali refused to be inducted into the army and was thereupon stripped of his boxing title (1967), when Charles de Gaulle resigned as the president of France (1969) and the birthdays of three beautiful people: Jessica Alba (1981), Penelope Cruz (1974), and Shreveport, Louisiana’s Hal Sutton (1958), Golf Magazine’s 1980 College Player of the Year, and a top-10 ranker in the Official Golf Rankings (1986-1987). That would be enough for us to be proud of, if it weren’t for today's Hornets holdin’ down the Hive, and a  Pre-Jazz fest celebration to bring the BayouWear out in full fierce force:

It's a good week if your wife isn't buying the argument that you read it for the articles. This month's issue of Playboy features a spread of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band -- in fancy clothes.  The St. Peter St. mainstays are photographed in the hall itself and a cemetery wearing clothes by Z Zegna and Thomas Pink. Sounds flashy. Maybe we'll go pick up a copy ourselves. Hey, come on! There's great articles!

San Francisco developers at the forefront of gentrification are floating a proposal to bring a branch of Preservation Hall to the Coast. From pictures published in the SF Gate of a tryout performance last week by the Hall's house band and Del McCoury (!!!), the newer location looks much bigger than its French Quarter elder. And there's a stage! No reports were available on sightings of bead-wearing hurricane-swillers from the Midwest clapping out of rhythym.
