January 2020 was a terrific month for arts and music.
COVID-19 was a page 8 story about an obscure and faraway virus emerging on another continent. January included travel, fine dining in restaurants, a visit with friends, making new ones and virtually non-stop live music performances in one of the worldâs great music cities.
The annual Folk Alliance International conference was held in New Orleans that month. A road trip to the event included stopping overnight in Lake Charles to visit friends who both work at McNeese State University. A few months later that small city would be devastated by Hurricane Laura. Happily both friends survived.
