The song "Ain't Dere No Mo" is a cachy little ditty... it was real kick to watch the video by Benny Grunch and the Bunch... they are typical "Noo Awlins' folks" through and through.
my, oh, my, that's brings back memories of the Crescent City... it was great to see all of the great old institutions that ain't there no more... DH Holmes and Maison Blanche were great department stores... as good as you'll find anyplace in the World...McKenzie was a very good bakery with 15 stores all over town... they had wonderful cinnamon rolls, cream pies, fruit pies, cakes, specialty pastries and doughnuts... K & B Drug Store, where everything was purple in the store and in their newspaper ads, was really fine... even had a good lunch counter where you could get a good, cheap meal... according to my wife K & B had the best chocolate ice cream in the world... sorry, EC ain't no chocolate guy... I go into Baskins and Robbins Ice Cream Store, taste all 31 flavors... and walk out with a double dip of just plain ole vanilla... always have and always will.
EC is just a plain vanilla guy.
