When you have a population that is immobile, no matter how you plead for them to leave no matter how early you get a start they can't leave! It's like the Titanic is sinking. They couldn't just say, 'Everyone off!' There's no place to go. You're stuck!

I packed my trumpet, my computer, a few pairs of underwear, a few shirts and that was it.

New Orleans is where jazz was born, and jazz is my passion.

The worst-case scenario is that my things were stolen. If they did, I don't care. I'm just glad I'm safe.
