It occurred to me during a morning dog walk in 40-degree weather that if you’re happy and content in life, February would be a great party month - Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras. So as I sit here debating whether or not to eat another paczki I imagine how nice it would be to be happy and content and enjoy winter’s party month.

I just opened my last #OffBeat newsletter of 2022 to find out #Nawlins bluesman and "dedicated smoker and drinker" Edward "Walter Wolfman" Washington had passed away just before Xmas and only two days after his 79th birthday. He was a staple of the #CrescentCity live music scene for decades, beginning when as a teen terror he lived above the #DewDropInn and was soon backing local soul greats like #IrmaThomas, and the late greats #LeeDorsey and #JohnnyAdams at home and on the road. After years on the #ChitlinCircuit in 80's he formed his own band #TheRoadmasters holding down residencies at clubs like #TheMapleLeaf and and d.b.a on Frenchmen St where enthralled fans have included #KeithRichards and #StevieWonder. After backing Johnny Adams late career #RounderRecords releases, beginning in 1986 the label released its first of 4 #WalterWolfmanWashington solo albums, and twenty years since his last outing on Rounder, and ten since his last one off indie label release, his final release 'My Future Is My Past' (his first LP using an acoustic guitar) was issued on -Anti in 2018 and got him touring internationally again, including gigs in India. Washington was dedicated live performer, known for late night shows that went into the dawn hours as a younger man, he was the first performer to return to #NewOrleans after Hurricane Katrina in September 2005, infamously playing a generator powered gig that was shut down by authorities for curfew violation. Following tonsil cancer treatments in 2022, Mr. Washington continued to perform live shows, including a set at the #NewOrleansJazz and Heritage Festival and his final this past September at a blues fest in Bogalusa #Louisiana. A funeral is scheduled for Jan 4th and on Jan 8th #Tipitinas is hosting a benefit concert jam for his family featuring other local legends like #Meters guitarist #LeoNocentelli, #MemShannon, #JonCleary #Galactic, #IvanNeville, #LittleFreddieKing and more ... deets here for those in the know wid da flow and close enough to #GetDown to the #Uptown and go...
