Wedding music NOLA style....

[Corona]

Jersey's thread reminded me I need to do this. My cuz Katie asked me to fill a jump drive with songs from NOLA that they can play at their wedding during dinner and mix it in with other music throughout the night for dancing. Ben is in LOVE with Nola music so she wants to play some for him.

Off the top of your heads....can you guys list me some songs/artists so I can start filling the drive? Some for dancing and some for just listening through dinner?

thanks! My pen and paper are ready :)

Any particular style?

I think it would be fun to slip a couple of NOLA shady lady songs in there. No one will ever know the difference.

Lady Marmalade, LaBelle
House of the Rising Sun, The Animals
Pearl of the Quarter, Steely Dan
Apache Rose Peacock, Red Hot Chili Peppers

Irma's "Simply the Best" off that great live album of the same name.

And let people know who wrote it!

Come on Baby Light My Fire. (Sorry about that not New Orleans music, maybe more Honeymoon at night kind of music)

Thanks so much - I'm really excited! We were trying to figure out a way to do it during Fest but it just wouldn't work out with kids & families and everything else. :(
