New Orleans Jazz in Sydney...and Katrina.

Tonight was jazz in the Domain. I loved the exciting atmosphere and the misty rain that soothed the hot day. The New Orleans guys were great- they belted out some tunes which I'm sure could be heard in Blacktown. Its not often that there are good quality jazz concerts on for free!

Even though there was much dancing and merriment, there was also a tinge of sadness at the reminder of Hurricane Katrina. The only thing I didn't like was how New Orleans was presented as a city that would endure. As one singer said, 'No matter what they throw at us, we will continue'. Or something like that. Another form of trusting in men rather than trusting in God.
