And coming up this month, we've got Josh Paxton paying a birthday tribute to James Booker at 11 am on Saturday December 17, and an all-star piano professor tribute to Professor Longhair at 12 noon on Monday December 21! You do not want to miss these sets. Plus a couple more very big names will be announced in the coming days--there's lots more live music coming in December!

Twelfth Night: Friday, January 6

Carnival season gets rolling with Friday evening Twelfth Night events, including walking parades in the French Quarter (Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc followed by Société Des Champs Elysée) and Saint Charles streetcar rides (Phunny Phorty Phellows and the Funky Uptown Krewe). Mardi Gras is February 21, so that means six-and-a-half weeks of king cake season!

Volunteer Profile: Father Ron Clingenpeel

In his own words: "I started as a WWOZ volunteer 11 years ago, because I wanted to support this wonderful community, to be a part of it – musicians, artists, on air hosts, and the great people behind the scenes. I didn’t start to be an on-air host, but was invited into that later and am loving digging through the musical history and culture which feeds my spirit. I have not given up other volunteering, though, because we still need to support the very essence of the station's ministry to New Orleans. The wider community of OZilians has encouraged me every step of the way. This feeds my spirit and my soul, and without it, other parts of my life might not be as good. I have made great friends here, learned so much, and been given the great gift of community." Thanks, Father Ron!
