    New Orleans music venue question

    Hi, This will be my second time visiting NO and I'd like to visit some of the rawer places rather than the places in French Quarter.

    Double Bass How to ship bass overseas?

    After a long lived life in Manhattan where I lugged my bass around on a little wheel, I am relocating to a different city and in need of a car now. Believe it or not, never owned a car. It is almost stupid to own a car in this city, unless you live in Brooklyn or Queens. Anyway, so I have...
