Missed Gal Holiday? Don’t worry, you can still catch her on our FQF 2014 Playlist. Gal Holiday – April 11, 2014, photo credit: Ian Cook
Maybe you missed Gal Holiday belt out “That’s how I ride” because you were waiting in line for crawfish bread, or, let’s be honest, the john (not to be confused with The John). Maybe you didn’t catch Little Freddie King bang out “Cleo’s Back” because you lost track of the time on the river, or ran to Gene’s to get a daq. Maybe you missed Dr. John because there were too many damn people! Or maybe you caught every act you intended to see, and now are twitching from FQF withdrawals. This is why the Best of French Quarter Fest 2014 Playlist exists, to fill the “fill in the blank” FQF voids in your heart (and the iTunes catalogue).
Don’t miss all of Ian Cook’s FQF Virtual Gallery.

The author visits fortune-tellers in the French Quarter, using their guidance as a tool for introspection rather than a deterministic predictor of the future. Through her experiences in New Orleans, the author feels a mystical connection to both the past and the future.
