Thanks man, I appreciate it. Ambition of a lifetime etc ... I went to New Orleans a few years ago on holiday and took my sax with me then. Sitting on a balcony overlooking Bourbon St playing as dawn was coming up. Amazing feeling.

Alto sax but taking my tenor with me in case I get to jam.

[Drewster]

Thanks. Alto sax.

Menelaus the "Bird"........

PS Ignore any ignorant winkers that make any comments about being a Bird........ you know what I mean!!

Theres a Moon over Bourbon Street tonight

I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
Ive no choice but to follow that call

The bright lights, the people, and the Moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong

For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet

While theres a Moon over bourbon street

It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb

Now I can only show my face at noon
And youll only see me walking by the light of the Moon

I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale Moon Light

How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love

Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet

While theres a Moon over Bourbon Street

Get there VERY early. Some friends went a couple of Saturdays ago, got there early, and gave up waiting about 3pm.

Got there at about 09:45 and there was already a big queue, but we were inside by about 10:45, so not a big deal. Was a bit disappointed to find that I'd seen practically the whole Banksy exhibition already, in photos in the original media coverage. I thought the papers would just have shown a few highlights and left plenty of surprises, but what they showed was basically it.

There were a few other things planted around the museum, including eviction notices stuck to the old Gypsy caravan which has been in the museum for decades.

Quite good.
