Happy Mardi Gras!

I've got two King Cakes, about 3 gallons of gumbo, a big pot of Red Beans and Rice, a couple of bottles of Root Beer with foam on top ... lots of "chank-a-chank" music on the stereo, some beads and doubloons to throw around (yesterday in anticipation I swept them up off the floor from last year)

Here is some footage of my very first Mardi Gras .. watch for the guy shaking the tambourine at the 4:36 mark of the video.

Thanks to my cousin Kathy in San Diego for digging this film out of the family archives and to my other cousin Marcus for posting it on You Tube.

Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler!
