All through New Orleans, there is a hum of music in the air. There are young men tap dancing on homemade tap shoes. There are young and old musicians that play jazz and rhythm and blues. There are drummers, singers, and dancers. Walking down the street, each store has music drifting out. There are bands that will play while walking in the road even though there is not a parade going on. The general feel of the world that surrounds New Orleans, is a celebration of being alive. The music, performance artists, and art work tells the history and current culture of the city.
