New Orleans Music Census Launches , Calling All Voices to Shape the Future of New Orleans Music Policy

NEW ORLEANS — Today marks the kickoff of the New Orleans Music Census, an ambitious endeavor spearheaded by the Mayor’s Office of Nighttime Economy to collect comprehensive data about the local music ecosystem. With the aim of delving deep into the heartbeat of our city, this initiative promises to be a game-changer, harnessing data to amplify the voices of those who shape our musical landscape. The census will be accepting responses at musiccensus.org/nola starting May 14 through May 31.

The goal of this study is to collect information that will assist with data-driven policy change so that we can better understand and support the local music ecosystem. The census will look at everyone from musicians to venue owners to sound engineers to festival buyers to vinyl manufacturers and everything in between. 

“As the birthplace of modern music, we recognize how important our culture bearers are to keeping New Orleans vibrant," said Director of Nighttime Economy Howie Kaplan. "This study will serve as a roadmap for how the City can best support them.” 

"It is critical that we hear from as many individuals as possible, from all corners of the local music scene," said Nighttime Economy Policy & Outreach Manager Julia Heath, emphasizing the importance of community participation. "Our office is committed to driving meaningful change that will support what our city is the most known for: its music." 

In partnership with Sound Music Cities, a renowned firm known for its expertise in music ecosystem studies, the New Orleans Music Census joins a prestigious cohort of 20 cities nationwide, including iconic music destinations like Nashville, TN and Washington, D.C. This collaboration ensures that our efforts are not solitary but part of a collective endeavor to elevate the status of music as a cornerstone of our cultural identity. 

By teaming up with community partners, including the Ella Project, Offbeat Magazine, StayLocal and Sinking City Records, the New Orleans Music Census will a cast a wide net, engaging with local venues, musicians, music non-profits and other stakeholders that are instrumental in our city's vibrant musical tapestry. Through interviews and surveys, Nighttime Economy aims to capture the nuanced realities of those who contribute to our nightlife economy, shedding light on both the triumphs and tribulations they face. 

"The music census is a vital tool for gathering and publishing data that will inform the public and provide a pathway forward on how best to align resources that benefit the members of our art and music community and strengthen our creative industries and cultural ecosystem for all who live in and visit New Orleans,” said Co-Founder of the Ella Project Ashlye Keaton.

What is the modern equivalent of the word "doth"?

Does

In the evolution of language, the modern equivalent of the archaic word "doth" is undoubtedly "does." Both "doth" and "does" serve as the third-person singular present tense forms of the verb "do." While "doth" was commonly used in Early Modern English, particularly during the Elizabethan era, "does" has taken its place in contemporary usage. It conveys the same meaning of performing an action or carrying out a task, but with a more accessible and familiar sound. "Does" seamlessly integrates into modern speech, reflecting the ever-changing nature of language and ensuring effective communication in the present day.

Rooted in Southern musical traditions and infused with confessional 90s angst, the music of Ever More Nest can likewise lull and rock you right off a front porch. Ever More Nest’s dynamic, homegrown voice—hugged by lush, church-pew harmonies—is complemented by ghostly, effusive guitars, spirited mandolin and banjo, mournful fiddle, and a rhythm section steady as a country train.

LSU baseball erased all doubt about whether it was an NCAA Tournament team during a white-knuckle run to the SEC Tournament title game, and they found out their regional destination Monday morning.

The Tigers will ship out to Chapel Hill for the regional hosted by the No. 4 seed North Carolina Tar Heels.

Here's how all four regional opponents stack up:

4. NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS

- Coach: Scott Forbes

- Record: 42-13 (22-8, 1st in ACC Coastal)

- RPI: 4

LONG ISLAND SHARKS

- Coach: Dan Pirillo

- Record: 33-23 (24-9, 2nd in Northeast Conference)

- RPI: 195

WOFFORD TERRIERS

- Coach: J.J. Edwards

- Record: 41-18 (12-8, 5th in Southern Conference)

- RPI: 195

LSU TIGERS

- Coach: Jay Johnson

- Record: 40-21 (13-17, 4th in SEC West)

- RPI: 46

Both opening matchups will be played on Friday (ESPN+)

This will be the LSU program's 36th regional appearance, of which they've won 26. The Tigers have found themselves winners of nine super regional series and seven national titles, the most recent of which came in 2023.

 Wave

The Tulane baseball team, winners of its second consecutive American Athletic Conference Tournament, will be the 4 seed that the Corvallis Regional in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, the school learned on Monday.

The Green Wave (35-24) clinched the league's automatic berth when left fielder Jackson Linn's 433-foot solo homer sailed over the wall in left in the bottom of the ninth to give the team an 11-10 win over Wichita State on Sunday.

Tulane will face Oregon State (42-14) on Friday at 8 p.m. CT/6 PT on ESPNU. The winner will face the winner of the game between second-seeded UC Irvine (43-12) and third-seeded Nicholls (38-20), which will be earlier in the day at 3 p.m. CT/1 PT.

The Green Wave was swept by UC Irvine at home in February but broke out the brooms against Nicholls with a 3-2 win at home on February 20 and a wild 14-12 victory on the road on March 5.

The Olive and Blue has faced the Beavers three times in its history, winning all of those contests. The team won 11-9 at the Riverside Invitational (Riverside, California) in 1986, 6-5 at the Louisiana Classics in Lafayette in 1991 and 3-1 in the 2005 College World Series opener (Omaha, Nebraska) in 2005.

FROM THE WILD AND CRAZY MIND

OF STEVE MARTIN –

PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE

It’s not only Picasso and Einstein in the building, its two of the greatest minds of the 20th Century meeting in a Paris bar to muse on the century’s achievements and prospects in Picasso at the Lapin Agile, an absurd comedy written by Steve Martin. Directed by Anysia Genre, Picasso is Playmakers Theater’s next production which opens May 18 and runs through June 2.

In his first comedy for the stage, the popular actor plays fast and loose with fact, fame, and fortune as the two geniuses join a bizarre mix of bar patrons -- including a final surprise guest – to propel the plot along.

Picasso at the Lapin Agile runs Saturday May 18 through Sunday June 2. Saturday performances are at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the BonTempsTix.com link below.

We're happy to bring a piece of the past back to WYES . GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS, the vintage TV series that began WYES’ legacy of award-winning nationally broadcast cooking shows, returns to the station – 40 years after its debut. Tune in Saturdays at 1pm. The original 26 episodes of GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS will air on WYES, followed by other episodes of the multi-part series every Saturday.

Thanks to executive producer John Shoup for sharing the series (produced and directed by the late John Beyer) with us. It begins Saturday in the kitchen of the legendary Chef Warren Leruth, and you'll see many other local icons below in the weeks to come.

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS ANNOUNCES MONTHLY AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT INFORMATION SESSIONS

NEW ORLEANS — On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) into law. The $1.9 trillion package is designed to directly combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts to states and municipalities. The City of New Orleans received $388 million in ARPA funds, and as of February 2024, $245 million has been spent and another $48.5 million has been obligated, representing 76 percent of the City’s total appropriation.  

The ARPA Implementation Team will begin holding monthly ARPA Information Sessions at libraries throughout New Orleans. The information sessions will be an opportunity to share updates on ARPA funded projects, share upcoming funding opportunities, answer questions from stakeholders and connect New Orleanians with agencies who have received ARPA funds. Details on the information sessions are included below.  

June Information Sessions:

• June 3, 5 - 7 p.m. East New Orleans Regional Library (5641 Read Blvd.) – Large Meeting Room
• June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Algiers Regional Library (3014 Holiday Dr.) – Small Meeting Room  
• June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Milton H. Latter Library (5120 St Charles Ave.) – Dining Room
• June 5, 5 - 7 p.m. Robert E. Smith Library (6301 Canal Blvd.) – Meeting Room
• June 6, 5 - 7 p.m. Nora Navra Library (3001 Gentilly Blvd.) – Meeting Room  

The ARPA Implementation Project Management Office (ARPA PMO) was established in the Fall of 2023 to ensure ARPA funds are spent in full compliance with federal guidelines and to support Departments in spending their ARPA allocations. The ARPA PMO provides oversight, risk assessment, management and monitoring compliance of ARPA funds to ensure projects are designed to be on time and meet goals and compliance mandates.  

For further information and updates on the City's ARPA investments and initiatives, contact City’s ARPA team at arpa@nola.gov or visit the official website at nola.gov/arpa/.

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.

2024 Full Moon schedule

(all times Eastern)

• 
  
• June 21 — 9:08 p.m. — Strawberry Moon
• July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
• Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
• Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn 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.

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.

Another big piece of the Saints 2024 schedule has officially been finalized, with dates and times established for each of the Saints' three preseason games.

The team will have its first two preseason games out west due to their training camp being held in Irvine, California.

Here's how the slate shapes up:

- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)

- P2, Aug. 18: Saints at San Francisco 49ers, 7 p.m. (FOX)

- P3, Aug. 25: Tennessee Titans at Saints, 1 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)

The Saints preseason opponents were announced with the rest of the 2024 schedule earlier in May, but exact dates and times for two of the matchups were left TBD. As is typical with the preseason, start times and days are all over the map. The Saints will kick off their preseason slate with a Saturday night game, and also start an hour later than a typical Sunday kick in the finale, hosted at the Caesars Superdome.
