Stop 1 – Stinky Cove/Fossil Point. After loading the bus we headed east on Cape Arago Highway until we got to fossil point. We parked and unloaded the bus and began walking along the small exposed sandy beach. At the bend we stopped and were asked to find a fossil, as I wandered around I couldn’t find much other than the ground up shells mixed in with the seaweed and sand. As we continued to walk we came to another spot where we were able to observe scallop fossils mixed with the rock it was coarse and grainy much like sandpaper.

Sasha 's Bloc Band is Alex Gershmann and features guest vocalists, Jane Monheit and Alvin Chea. Gershmann brings the airy feel of big band and jazz with splash of R&B that puts you right in the groove. This single, Runaway Blues is a perfect blend that accomplishes what this band set out to do, make you lose yourself in the art of music. It starts with dreamy vocals that sounds like a church choir.

During the 19th century, music was booming and people were dancing to the lively genre of jazz in the heart of New Orleans.

Washington "Bukka" White. Down to the core, the most basic similarity the aforementioned blues musicians have is that they were all born in Mississippi.
