             Excellent suggestions, Charlie.  Asking where can one find good
food in N. O., however, is like asking where can one find some ice at the
North Pole!

                I imagine Jim Robertson's old trombone is still on display
at the Mint's Jazz Museum  - if so, one should take off his hat before
looking into its display case, and then stare in reverence at that
instrument that produced all those beautiful, soulful notes and phrases as
only Big Jim could.
