The music was a hodgepodge of blues, soul, rockabilly, swamp pop, funk and garage groups under the banner of the New Orleans-based Ponderosa Stomp festival forcing us to summon our little remaining energy for some sunshine dancing.
"A moment of silence, a lifetime of laughter" is a lyric from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' Noise Brigade. The Bosstones were dropped from the original bill of the first concert I ever attended. Here, I reminisce on various moments of silence and noise in a lifetime of laughter and a few scattered tears. "On the brighter side and on a happier note; the noise, well it's just love that gets caught in my throat."
