Playlist for August 27, 2010 from 6:00AM - 9:00AM
Current New Orleans Time: Fri, 3:14am
Playlist Date & Time: 8/27/2010 6:00AM - 9:00AM
Program: Morning Set with Raymond Kent
Sunday, two days from now, will be the 5th anniversary of when the Hurricane changed everything for New Orleans and the Gulf coast.
The sad news that was announced this week is that Donna's Bar & Grill is closed permanently. It's unfortunate to lose another music venue, and a shame that there is now no music venue at all on Rampart Street. But I wish Donna and Charlie all the best. It was a great run, and they hosted a lot of terrific, entertaining, and sometimes amazing music.
