NATIONAL KAZOO DAY
National Kazoo Day on January 28th recognizes nearly 200 years of kazoo music in the United States. The day also encourages playing and learning about the kazoo.
The instrument requires little effort to create a sound. However, some skill is necessary to make intelligible music. This simple instrument also adds comedic punctuations to just about any childhood song. The great thing about the kazoo is, if you can hum, you can play!
Click play and enjoy a story about National Kazoo Day featuring our founder, Marlo Anderson. If you enjoy the 2-minute show, subscribe with your favorite podcast player.
Warren H. Frost first proposed the name "kazoo" when he submitted his U.S. patent application for a musical toy instrument.
The U.S. Patent Office granted Frost's application with patent no. 270,543 on January 9, 1883.
In 1915, Michael McIntyre partnered with Harry Richardson, and they established The Original American Kazoo Company which began producing metal kazoos. They are still in production today in Eden, NY.
During World War I, another instrument made the scene. Larger and a little more cumbersome for a child to manage, makers touted the bazooka as an instrument anyone could play (and build).

The Krewe of Nefertiti parades in New Orleans East.
Nefertiti
1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28
New Orleans East
The Krewe of Nefertiti celebrates its local roots with the theme “Bloom Where You Are Planted.” The all-female krewe held its first parade in New Orleans East in 2020. It returns to the neighborhood with a family-focused parade featuring more than 200 members riding 14 floats, plus many marching bands and groups based in New Orleans East.
Queen Nefertiti IV is Lenora Joon Chong, the chef and restaurateur, who with her son Larry Morrow, is behind Morrow’s and Sun Chong.
Tarriona “Tank” Ball, the vocalist and leader of Tank and the Bangas, will serve as grand marshal. The band is nominated for a 2024 Grammy for Best Global Music Performance.
The krewe’s signature throws are highlighted by jewelry boxes, and some special throws are revealed at parade time.
The krewe is named for the ancient Egyptian queen Nefertiti, who is known for her power and beauty.

Sunday, Jan. 28, 6:30 p.m. ET on Fox
Super Bowl LVIII: Feb. 11
Super Bowl LVIII will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Feb. 11. The game will air on CBS. Usher will perform during the halftime show.
AFC Championship Game
When: Sunday, Jan. 28 at 3 p.m. ET (CBS)
Opening line: BAL -3 (44.5)
What to know: The ideal ingredients for winning in the postseason would seem to be an elite quarterback and an elite defense. That brings us to the Ravens, just the fourth team since the 1970 merger to have a first-team All-Pro quarterback and the No. 1 scoring defense in the NFL. The three previous teams to do so -- the 1972 Dolphins, 1978 Steelers and 1996 Packers -- all went on to win the Super Bowl.
That's the combination of factors working in the Ravens' favor next Sunday. With quarterback Lamar Jackson coming off a historic performance against the Texans (two rushing TDs and two TD passes) and the Ravens' defense limiting Houston to its second-lowest yardage total of the season (213), this seems like a truly complete team.
But don't expect the Chiefs to be the least bit fazed by any of this after overcoming the Bills on the road in another memorable matchup between the budding rivals. After being treated to one premier quarterback matchup in Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen on Sunday, the AFC playoffs will serve up another in the championship game, when Mahomes and the Chiefs visit Jackson and the Ravens.
The Chiefs are 3-2 in AFC title games with Mahomes under center. But there's a key difference this season: The Chiefs have arguably the best defense in the Mahomes era. They finished the season second in scoring defense and yards allowed. No Kansas City team has been higher than seventh in either metric in Mahomes' tenure. -- Holder
Why the Ravens will win: Both sides of the ball are on fire for Baltimore. Let's start with the defense, where the Ravens allowed zero offensive touchdowns in the divisional round against the Texans. The Ravens' defense didn't blink against Houston the way the Browns did in the wild-card round, and the unit was dominant, particularly against the run, where Baltimore allowed negative-0.29 EPA per play. It's nothing new for the Ravens' defense, which now ranks first in EPA per play over the course of the season, playoffs included.
Despite the name brand of the Chiefs, the reality of this matchup is that Baltimore's defense has been much, much better than the Kansas City offense. The Chiefs were ranked 10th in EPA per play entering Sunday.
Offensively, the Ravens are on almost as strong of a roll. They were good all season, and they kicked it up a notch in the playoffs. Jackson posted a 94 QBR against Houston, and on his run plays or dropbacks, the Ravens accrued 0.41 EPA per play. In other words, every five of Jackson's plays added two full points to the Ravens' expected scoring margin. The Chiefs' defense will provide more resistance than Houston's did, but Kansas City ranked 11th in EPA per play allowed against opposing QB scrambles or runs. And overall, the Chiefs are simply weaker against the run, ranking 26th in EPA per opponent designed carry. It could be another big day for Jackson. -- Walder
Why the Chiefs will win: It's still Mahomes with the best defense he has ever had. The Chiefs still have Andy Reid calling plays, a breakout receiver in Rashee Rice and an offensive line that protects Mahomes. And tight end Travis Kelce just had two touchdowns in the divisional round.
play
0:30
Mahomes, Kelce TD connection sets NFL postseason recordPatrick Mahomes connects again with Travis Kelce for a Chiefs touchdown, giving them a postseason record of 16 TDs as QB-receiver duo.
Despite all that has gone wrong this season -- most notably the receivers' league-worst 5.7% drop rate entering Sunday and their inability to support Mahomes and the offense at an elite level -- all of the above means the Chiefs have a chance to score plenty of points in the AFC Championship Game. Plus, while the Ravens led the league in sacks in the regular season, Mahomes simply refuses to take them. His 3.9% sack rate and 13.8% sack-to-pressure rate rank second in the NFL behind Allen.
And while Buffalo moved the ball at will at times against the Chiefs, the long view of the defense is it is still one of the best groups in the league, ranking fourth in EPA per play allowed. In the end, Kansas City kept the Bills out of the end zone, too.
The Chiefs are underdogs and deservedly so, but they just beat Baltimore's biggest challenger in the AFC. They can beat the Ravens themselves, too. -- Walder
.
NFC Championship Game
When: Sunday, Jan. 28 at 6:30 p.m. ET (Fox)
Opening line: SF -7 (51.5)
What to know: The 49ers haven't won a Super Bowl since 1994. To put that in perspective, quarterback Steve Young threw three touchdown passes to Jerry Rice in that Super Bowl XXIX win over the Chargers. Still, the Niners will be making their seventh appearance in the NFC Championship Game since 2011. San Francisco has gone 2-4 in those games, three of which have come under coach Kyle Shanahan since 2019. Shanahan has a chance to pass Bill Walsh for the best postseason win percentage in club history with a win over Detroit.
2023 NFL Playoffs
As for quarterback Brock Purdy, he's trying to build a legacy of his own, and winning this game would go a long way after he was knocked out of the conference title game with an elbow injury last season. But the Lions are also trying to rewrite the history books. By winning two playoff games for the first time since 1957, they've already done something most Lions fans have never personally witnessed. And the Lions are doing it with an explosive offense that figures to test the 49ers' elite defense.
Orchestrating it all is quarterback Jared Goff, who is one of the best stories in this NFL season. After powering the Lions with 287 passing yards and two touchdown passes in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay, the Rams castoff has a chance to go to his second Super Bowl. If he takes the Lions to Las Vegas, they might just build him a statue in the Motor City. -- Holder
Why the 49ers will win: Yes, Purdy's performance in the divisional round against the Packers -- when he posted a negative-6% completion percentage over expectation, per NFL Next Gen Stats -- caused concern. But the best way to judge a team is with a long lens, and when we do that the 49ers still look plenty menacing.
And let's think about the matchup here. The 49ers have the most efficient passing offense in football. What is the Lions' big weakness? Defending the pass. Entering Sunday, the Lions ranked 30th in EPA allowed per opposing dropback. San Francisco's plethora of offensive playmakers will be a nightmare for Detroit, and while the Lions' offense is also effective, they don't have near the same firepower.
Plus, the 49ers have stars galore on defense to counter. Edge rusher Nick Bosa and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave lead a pass rush that can get pressure on the quarterback despite blitzing only 20% of the time (sixth lowest), and cornerback Charvarius Ward and linebacker Fred Warner should be able to at least mitigate Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta. -- Walder
play
0:34
Amon-Ra St. Brown hauls it in for a Lions TDJared Goff lofts one into the end zone for Amon-Ra St. Brown to extend the Lions' lead.
Why the Lions will win: The Lions have two major factors working for them in the NFC Championship Game. First, a shaky Purdy. Until his game-winning drive against the Packers, Purdy looked plenty fallible. He has led an ultra-efficient offense over the course of the season, but if he's rattled at all, that gives Detroit hope.
Second, one thing you can do against the 49ers is run on them. That plays right into the Lions' strength, as they rushed for 114 yards against Tampa Bay. They lean run-heavy, with the 11th-highest run rate over expectation, per NFL Next Gen Stats, and yet they are the sixth-most efficient running team in the league in terms of EPA per play, thanks to strong play from David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.
Finally, the 49ers are one of the most efficient pass defenses because of their ability to defend deep throws, ranking third in EPA per play allowed on attempts of 20 or more air yards. But that's a wasted skill against Detroit, which throws deep just 7% of the time, the lowest rate in the NFL. The Lions will need the ball to bounce their way a few times, but they certainly have hope. -- Walder

UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN, BUT WHICH ONE WILL WEAR IT?
England’s King Henry II and his Queen Elinor of Aquitaine had four sons, the eldest died, leaving the other three to squabble over who came next. Unfortunately, Henry and Elinor disagreed over which one should take the crown next.
That’s the arc of The Lion in Winter, Playmakers Theater’s next production. Directed by Chase Hefte, the production chronicles the royal gathering at Christmas 1183 as the family meets to hash out the succession. It does not go well leaving Elinor to comment, “What family doesn’t have its ups and downs?”
The Lion in Winter crackles with brilliant scenes between the royals as they plot and scheme and form alliances to promote their choice for king.
The production opens Saturday, Jan. 20 and runs through Sunday, February 4. Saturday performances are at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available through www.BonTempsTix.com.

What does "inveigle" mean?
Persuasion by flattery
inveigle in-VEE-guhl
Definition: to persuade or influence someone through flattery or deception
Origin: The word "inveigle" comes from the Middle French word "enveogler", which means "to blind or to deceive." It was first used in English in the 15th century.
Example: She was able to inveigle him into giving her the last slice of pizza.
Persuasion by flattery is the answer to what does "inveigle" mean. It is a technique used to manipulate someone into doing something by appealing to their vanity or ego. Inveigling can be used in a positive or negative way. It can be used to convince someone to do something that is good for them, like exercising or eating healthy, or it can be used to deceive someone and get them to do something that is not in their best interest, like giving away personal information or money. Inveigling is a powerful tool that can be used to influence people and get them to do what you want.

NATIONAL BLUEBERRY PANCAKE DAY
On January 28th, National Blueberry Pancake Day brings the sweetness of blueberries to your pancake, flapjack, or hotcake.
The early pancakes consisted mostly of flour and milk and were more like biscuits. Later, eggs, milk, a leavening agent (such as baking powder), and fat were added creating the fluffier, lighter pancake we know today.
Adding blueberries to the pancake batter when mixing up the ingredients may result in a bluish hue. To avoid this, add them right after dropping dollops of batter to the hot griddle.
Blueberries add a freshness to pancakes and nutrients like vitamin K, vitamin C, manganese, and copper.

1933: Stop and Smell the Roses
The resort area of New Lake End began shortly after the completion of the New Basin Canal in 1838. In 1853 the first railroad access to the area was completed by the Jefferson & Pontchartrain Railroad which linked the Carrollton and Metairie Road area from the Half-Way House all the way out to New Lake End. However, the surrounding area was still covered in marshland which was drained and filled over time.
With better access to the area, and a more attractive surrounding neighborhood, the New Lake End area began to prosper. In 1874 the New Orleans City Railroad extended their line out to New Lake End and four years later was granted a 30-year lease by the city to provide service to the area, now renamed West End.
An 1885 guidebook prepared for visitors to the 1884 World Industrial & Cotton Centennial exposition described the new West End grounds as having landscaping that was “elegant esplanade with the choicest flowers and shrubs, statues, mazes, walks, and drives.” Photographer Charles Franck captured a more contemporary photograph of two ladies in 1933 enjoying the rose garden on the grounds of the West End Hotel.

Our live music classes with local musicians and culture bearers, as well as our overall emphasis on music appreciation is what makes our lessons stand out among the rest!

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.
7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level
This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.
No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!

City of New Orleans Reminds Jackson Square Artists of Permit Deadline
NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans issued a reminder to all current permit holders to renew their permits for selling art on Jackson Square in the French Quarter. The deadline for all current permit holders to renew is Wednesday, Jan. 31.
Artists who sell art on or around Jackson Square are required to obtain an Occupational License and Mayoralty Permit from the Department of Finance’s Bureau of Revenue. Eligible permits are either Artist A permits to sell art on Jackson Square or Artist B permits to sell art only in Pirates Alley.
All permit holders who wish to renew must apply in person during business hours (Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) in the Bureau of Revenue office located at City Hall (1300 Perdido St., Room 1W15). Artists must also present a valid photo ID and be prepared to pay $175.25 in the form of a certified check or money order payable to the City of New Orleans. For applicants over the age of 65, the fee is $25.25.
All permit holders who fail to renew their existing permit on or before Jan. 31 will be required to re-apply as a new applicant. A maximum of 200 Artist A permits may be issued, according to City code. There is no limit for Artist B permits.
Once all renewals have been completed, the remaining Artist A permit slots will be included in a lottery.
Similar to the permit renewal process, applicants must be present during the lottery, possess a valid photo ID and be prepared to pay $175.25 in the form of a certified check or money order payable to the City of New Orleans. For applicants over the age of 65, the fee is $25.25.
Qualified applicants are defined as persons who either have a current Artist B permit or have an application for a new Artist A permit currently on file. Artist B permit holders who seek to upgrade to an Artist A permit must also present their current Artist B permit.
For more information, contact the Bureau of Revenue Application Unit via phone at (504) 658-1630, (504) 658-1621 or (504) 658-694 or email Todd M. Ecker at tmecker@nola.gov.

Drew Brees-owned Smalls Sliders to open Metairie location in February
CityBusiness Staff Reports

Drew Brees has a busy next two weeks. This week, Brees will reign as king of Washington Mardi Gras in D.C. Next week, his Smalls Sliders Metairie location will open on Thursday, Feb. 1, in the Clearview City Center at 4580 Veterans Blvd.
The grand opening will be celebrated with a ribbon cutting hosted by the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m on Feb. 1. This is the first Smalls Sliders location for the former New Orleans Saints quarterback and Super Bowl MVP. Brees owns the Metairie location, along with former Purdue football teammates Jason Loezel and Ben Smith.
The three originally announced the partnership in May 2022.
“Drew has been an integral part of Smalls Sliders since its inception, and we are thrilled to celebrate his first Can opening,” said Maria Rivera, CEO of Smalls Sliders. “His passion and commitment to our vision and values have been a driving force of our growth and brand culture, and we are proud to partner with him in Metairie and beyond.”
The Smalls Sliders chain, which serves cheeseburger sliders and waffle fries through drive-thru and walk-up options, will open 40 restaurants in 2024 across the Southeast. Smalls Sliders opened its first signature ‘Smorange’ colored Can in 2019. Smalls Sliders has more than 160 Cans open or under development.
“We’ve seen the excitement surrounding the Smalls brand, and it has only heightened around our grand opening,” said Melissa Kernaghan, director of operations at Boilermaker Ventures and local operator of the Smalls Sliders in Metairie. “Smalls has become a staple within Louisiana communities, and people truly feel connected to the brand. We aim to continue building upon the Smalls fanbase within Metairie and look forward to becoming an integral part of people’s lives.”
Small Sliders joins the many business ventures that Brees has become involved in since he retired following the 2020 NFL season. In January 2024, Brees opened Surge Entertainment in Baton Rouge. He also owns Stretch Zone, multiple Jimmy John’s and Dunkin’ franchises and has invested in food delivery service Waitr, Walk-On’s and craft superfood chain everbowl™, among others. Brees also spent one season as an analyst for NBC Sunday Night Football following his NFL retirement.

WHERE: The Shop at the Collection
520 Royal St., New Orleans, LA 70130
HOW: Admission is $15 ($5 for THNOC members), and tickets will be sold at the door.
WHY: Don’t miss a chance to sample locally baked king cakes and Carnival themed treats from the King Cake Connection, a collaboration of Black-owned New Orleans bakeries, at The Shop at the Collection on Saturday, Feb. 3 from 1-3 p.m. Guests will enjoy live music provided by Treme Brass Band and a complimentary cocktail. Attendees will be able to participate in a bling tasting competition to crown their favorite bakery.
Participating bakeries include Adrian’s Bakery, Viola’s, Heavenly Sweets Bakery, B Sweet Bistro and MadiCakez.
"Our partnership with The Historic New Orleans Collection and this event is incredibly important for the bakers and artists selling their products through the King Cake Connection,” says Jalence Isles of King Cake Connection. “It exposes our visitors, who sustain our local economy, to the amazing products offered within our community. King Cake Connection, an extension of Where Black NOLA Eats, aims to increase visibility and cash flow to Black business owners. Currently, Black business owners earn only two percent of the City’s small business income. Partnerships like this one with The Historic New Orleans Collection help amplify our mission and contribute to changing this harrowing narrative."
A variety of King cakes and king-cake themed treats will be available at The Shop at the Collection daily during Carnival season.

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- Feb. 24 —7:30 a.m. — Snow Moon
- March 25 — 3 a.m. — Worm Moon
- April 23 — 7:49 p.m. — Pink Moon
- May 23 — 9:53 a.m. — Flower Moon
- June 21 — 9:08 p.m. — Strawberry Moon

- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.
Wolf Moon (January): Inspired by the cries of hungry wolves.
Snow Moon (February): A nod to the month’s often heavy snowfall.
Worm Moon (March): Named after the earthworms that signal thawing grounds.
Pink Moon (April): In honor of the blossoming pink wildflowers.
Related: How to see the eclipse in April
Flower Moon (May): Celebrating the bloom of flowers.
Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.
Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.
