I had hoped to resume the Sunday Dozen this week but an aching back has limited my computer time. Oh well, what the hell.
Instead, the Sunday Morning Video is back with a vengeance. In 2010, I wrote a post about the then Krewe of Pan recreating the 2006 Krewe du Vieux parade, Confessions Of A Carnival Parade Recreator, which was republished last May as a Story Time post.

“Two years after Ashley’s tragic death at the age of 45, we recreated that march for the HBO television series Treme. John Goodman’s character, Creighton Burnette, was loosely based on Ashley.

In case you’re wondering, the producers paid Ashley’s family for the rights to the posts used.”
