Episode 25: Bruce Sunpie Barnes!!!!
Sunpie joins Howie and Scully in the King Room to talk about music, nature, Creole culture, photography, neighborhood history, sports, and the spirit world. He describe how playing with Kansas City Chiefs was cool, but not his dream, how eating songbirds helped him ace ornithology, getting lost on his first day in New Orleans on Mardi Gras Day, going to the hardware store with Fats Domino to buy nothing, his decision to get his musical eduction from the street rather than the university, how he shares the gift of premonition with his grandmother, and how his visions have predicted events like the shooting at Joe's Cozy Corner that resulted in Papa Joe's imprisonment.
He provides us with two hot tracks!!!
