Glen David Andrews to Bury the Curse
Second Line jazz funeral to put “The Aints” to rest
NEW ORLEANS, LA – February 12, 2010 -- New Orleans’ own Glen David Andrews, along with the Baby Boyz Brass Band, will lead a second line jazz funeral on Saturday February 20th, starting at 5:00pm at DBA, 618 Frenchmen St. Long-suffering Saints fans are urged to bring their paper bags to put in the coffin, and after a short ceremony, the second line will wind it’s way from Frenchmen St to the Treme and back to dba. The bags were the creation of Saints fan Buddy Dilberto, who first donned a bag in 1980, borrowing from the Unknown Comic, a fixture on the Gong Show at that time. They came to be a symbol of the Saints and their lack of success. Hundreds of fans decorated them in black and gold and wore them to the games. Even Peyton and Eli Manning wore them to games in the 80’s. All that has changed of course, and now is the time to bury the bags, and the curse. (Buddy passed away in 2005, he never got to see his beloved Saints win the Super Bowl).
ABOUT GLEN DAVID ANDREWS:
Glen David has a weekly residency at dba on Monday’s, starting at 9:30pm. He will be appearing at French Quarter Fest on April 9th at 6:30 on the Riverside Legacy Stage, and at Jazzfest on April 23rd on the Congo Square Stage. His most recent recording, "Walking Through Heaven's Gate", was released on Threadhead Records.
“Aside from being a great musician, Glen David has absorbed a fading tradition. He's a link for his generation to something important. But he also has a rare enthusiasm and energy that makes it all special and exciting for even casual listeners.” Ben Jaffe - Preservation Hall
"New Orleans has a long history of amazing performers whose legend never completely translates to the outside world... when a local artist breaks through at Jazzfest, it is a spectacular thing to witness. This fest it happened to Glen David Andrews...it was as if some otherworldly force took over him during a performance in the Gospel Tent that was completely transformative...he was a combination of James Brown and Prince...people were clamoring to touch him, to take a spark from this burning light of a spiritual force in their midst." excerpt from review by John Swenson, June 2009 OffBeat Magazine
"One of the giant talents of New Orleans." Quint Davis, Producer, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, May 1, 2009
