Jorge Fuentes reflects on our friend Frank: "A reliable volunteer at the station, Frank Wills quickly took a liking to recording 'spots,' the announcements that we play on air at the station. I liked to use his voice because he had natural delivery and an unmistakable New Orleans accent."
Check out the highlights from Piano Night 2012 with Henry Butler, Marcia Ball, Carol Fran, Conun Pappas Jr., Jeff "Snake" Greenberg. It was an amazing party and it supported the greatest radio station in the world.
So long, Jazz Fest, we'll see you next year. We already regret not getting the larger-sized Crawfish Monica, or the second cup of Rosemint Tea. And we promise we'll exercise more in preparation for next year's sprint between Acura and Gentilly. But regardless of our resolutions, we'll always have the memories of a great Jazz Fest 2012.
To the tons of volunteers who made Jazz Fest and Piano Night 2012 a success!
Sneak-preview on May 24 to support the Heritage School of Music.
