New Orleans street musicians

 

These are a few shots from my recent trip to New Orleans. This band, Doreen’s Jazz New Orleans, played on this same corner night after night. Didn’t matter how many hours they’ve been making music, there was always a sense of excitement and passion. Sure, this band is available for hire, but this night, they put themselves out there only for tips. Hustling for money doing what they love. Sound familiar?

As a small business owner, I gotta hustle doing what I love too. Instead of a tuba, I have art supplies. Instead of a clarinet, it’s a color palette. You know I could probably jam out on a pink drum set, but instead, I let my fingers do the tapping over my keyboard. Put those things together, my one-woman band can make some pretty sweet music crafts.
