Editor's note: In honor of Presidents' Day — yeah, that's the ticket — we bring you Music Friday three days late. Enjoy!

We take requests here at Music Friday. Our most recent request is for a song by Marc Cohn which was inspired — if that is the right word — by the events of Katrina as well as his own experience of being shot in the head. However, my team of research assistants has been unable to find the requested song — “Join the Parade” — anywhere on the Net, except for as a ringtone.

Nonetheless, his album cover certainly does have a nice New Orleans touch. A brass band during some dark days.

So keep those requests coming. I once said something similar on a college radio show, telling the listeners that I would play The Ramones and only The Ramones until someone called in. It took about twenty minutes. I think the song “Weasel Face” did it.

Anyhow — note that “anyhow” is a transition that can take one from anywhere to anywhere — Voices has reported that Dianne Reeves will be performing at Jazz Fest this year. Let’s see her at work, with a nice little New Orleans video and a smooth version of "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?" behind the cut.
