Lousiana Mojo by jack burton 2020
An ode to Tony Joe White. I was lucky to have family in New Orleans and spent many a Carnival Season in the CrescentCity. Fred Staten, The Chicken Man was a friend and we swapped a blessing or two over the years. Good Luck!
Come up from Brownsville by Jack Burton
This one is actually about an automobile. In 1968 I worked for a guy who had an Army Air buddy named Jimmy. After WW2 Jimmy and my Boss went back to Eastern Europe to smuggle surviving Jews out from under a descending Iron Curtain. Jimmy had this low, black Oldsmobile with a big engine. Ever since I've considered that Olds to be the smugglers ride of choice.

Time Travel...What can I say. This one is for my Mom. She is long gone but really knew what she was talking about in 69.
