There are so many things about this video that gets me going.
The song is a song from my childhood. I went to several tent revivals as a child. Yep, old school tent revivals with a tent, paper fans and preachers yelling and preachin'.
This song is also a "New Orleans" song. I love New Orleans like a second home. I honeymooned there, took my kids to Mardi Gras, have been to Jazzfest a few times and just have a love for it I cannot express with words.
And, these bands are some of my very favorites. I have seen all but one of them and hopefully will see Edward Sharpe this year. The music that they play charge my batteries for days and days after I have seen them live and pump me up when I listen on my iPod.
So, today, on a gloomy winter's day, I am grateful for all of it.
Sophie watched Big Easy Express like it was a Disney movie. I'm not even kidding, she CRIED when it was over. Parent of the year for letting a 3 month old watch TV but I feel hopeful about her musical taste:)
