about

This is a tune for New Orleans

lyrics

The week we stayed in Gretna
The river kept us safe
Our days spent at the fairgrounds
Those nights were a losing race
That week in New Orleans
I had my first Tinder date
I left with my back bleeding
Had to sneak down the fire escape

We were sitting in grandstands
Walking down Esplanade
Down to Frenchman Street
Watching the Jazz bands
Clapping with our hands
Dancing with our feet

Big river, it flows right through this town
Big wind, it rattles me around
Big Easy, Big Easy coming down

We saw Stevie Wonder
He didn’t see us at all
I ain’t superstitious
But the writing was on the wall


We were sitting in grandstands
Walking down Esplanade
Down to Frenchman Street
Watching the Jazz bands
Clapping with our hands
Dancing with our feet

Big river, it flows right through this town
Big wind, it rattles me around
Big Easy, Big Easy coming down
Big Easy, Big Easy coming..

Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

I’m going down
New Orleans bound
I swear I’m found
At Cooter Brown’s

Big river, it flows right through this town
Big wind, it rattles me around
Big Easy, Big Easy coming down
Big Easy, Big Easy coming..

Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

The Spare Parts Toronto, Ontario

Toronto band The Spare Parts were originally the backing band for frontman Phillip Vonesh. Over the years the writing became more collaborative. The sincerity and emotion of Vonesh’s lyrics and vocals are the perfect contrast to guitarist Bill Dyan’s heavy hooks and classic style. The glue of the band are bassist Gavin Quinn and Drummer Alex Bullen who keep things locked down. ... more
