- How old are you now?

I'm 80.

How do you get to be so much alive?

57
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:37,134
Well, look - Just look -

58
00:03:37,218 --> 00:03:39,136
I tell you - You know one thing?

59
00:03:40,095 --> 00:03:44,183
You know, most everybody
comes to the Preservation Hall...

60
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:46,477
they don't ask nobody
about their age but me.

61
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,479
You know what I tell 'em?
I say, “I'm 100.”

62
00:03:48,562 --> 00:03:51,982
And I just let 'em go with that.

63
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:54,276
“Oh, you ain't no hundred!”

64
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,073
I say, “Oh, yeah, I am.
Next birthday I'll be 101

65
00:03:59,156 --> 00:04:01,867
- You know what I mean?
- And, uh -

66
00:04:01,951 --> 00:04:04,703
Some of 'em believe it
and some don't believe it.

67
00:04:04,787 --> 00:04:08,123
But I tell them that all the time.
I really tell 'em that.

68
00:04:08,207 --> 00:04:10,459
And, uh, people say,
“Why you tell that to people?”

69
00:04:10,543 --> 00:04:13,170
I say, “I don't want no one
to know my age.”

70
00:04:13,254 --> 00:04:15,756
They're so interested in my age.
You know what I mean?

71
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,425
And I say, well, I say,
the thing about it -

72
00:04:18,509 --> 00:04:21,595
Thank God - I say, thank God
the man let me stay that long.

73
00:04:21,679 --> 00:04:23,848
You know, look -
I'm gon' tell you -

74
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:28,435
I'm gonna tell you what a man say -
You know what them fellas say one time?

75
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:30,813
He say, “You know one thing?

76
00:04:30,896 --> 00:04:34,024
If I knew I was gonna live that long,
I'd have took care of myself.”

77
00:04:34,108 --> 00:04:36,944

it was too late. He died.

00:08:03,108 --> 00:08:04,401
You know.

87
00:08:04,485 --> 00:08:07,780
But like me, you know,
I like people to have a nice time.

88
00:08:07,863 --> 00:08:10,157
And when I leave this face of the earth...

89
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,118
I'd like a little band behind me...

90
00:08:13,202 --> 00:08:16,830
and my friends having a nice time,
see me leave this place.

91
00:08:16,914 --> 00:08:19,458
But I'm livin' now...

and I'm not gonna wait, you know...

93
00:08:22,503 --> 00:08:24,755
till I'm in the ground
and be laid out, you know...

94
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:26,757
to have some fun in the streets.

95

Second-line bands,
the bands that march in the street...

97
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:28,735
uh, initially was done for funerals.

98
00:09:30,362 --> 00:09:32,406
Maybe even before that
for something else.

99
00:09:32,489 --> 00:09:36,660
But by the time we can talk about it -
This is what I know about it.

100
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:38,912
It was done for funerals -

101
00:09:38,996 --> 00:09:43,333
to march real slow on the way to the
funeral and cut up on the way back.

102
00:09:44,293 --> 00:09:47,963
That's how you'd lay the dead away -

103
00:09:48,046 --> 00:09:50,299
with a band.

104
00:09:50,382 --> 00:09:52,843
You'd take 'em on out
and you'd boogie back.

105
00:09:53,886 --> 00:09:59,766
And the people who are behind the band
and doin' their things...

106
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:02,311
is the second line.

One time I went and followed a parade,
me and my girlfriend...

111
00:11:10,128 --> 00:11:12,172
and we kept on followin' the parade.

112
00:11:12,256 --> 00:11:15,342
She thought I knew where we was going
and I thought she knew...

113
00:11:15,425 --> 00:11:18,887
and when we come to find out
neither one of us knew where we were.

114
00:11:18,971 --> 00:11:22,182
We were way uptown
in New Orleans, you know...

115
00:11:22,266 --> 00:11:24,059
following the parade uptown.

116
00:11:24,142 --> 00:11:28,063
So she said, “Where we at?”
I said, “I don't know. Don't you know?”

117
00:11:28,146 --> 00:11:30,148
She said, “No.”
I said, “I don't either.”

118
00:11:30,232 --> 00:11:31,858
So then we started asking people...

119
00:11:31,942 --> 00:11:33,277
you know, where we was...

120
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,695
and we started running.

121
00:11:34,778 --> 00:11:36,363
We ran all the way back home.

122
00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:37,823
We was way uptown somewhere.

123
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:41,410
But we kept a-dancin' and a-skippin'
with the music and kept on goin'.

124
00:11:41,493 --> 00:11:44,538
And we never did that no more.

125
00:11:44,621 --> 00:11:46,373
I never - I don't remember...

126
00:11:46,456 --> 00:11:48,750
following a parade after that day.

127
00:11:48,834 --> 00:11:51,169
I'd go about a couple of blocks...

128
00:11:51,253 --> 00:11:52,754
and that was the furthest.

129
00:11:52,838 --> 00:11:56,091
But I never followed a parade
after I got lost.

Many places I've traveled
over the country...

139
00:14:37,335 --> 00:14:38,962
beans were used in a salad.

140
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:42,924
The idea of stewing beans, you know,
combining beans and meat...

141
00:14:43,008 --> 00:14:46,678
wasn't well known
or wasn't too popular.

142
00:14:46,761 --> 00:14:50,223
But places that I have prepared
just red beans and rice...

143
00:14:50,307 --> 00:14:52,851
have really went over
a lot, you know.

144
00:14:52,934 --> 00:14:57,522
They say, “Wow, I wish we'd have known this,
because we could have been doing this.”

145
00:14:57,606 --> 00:15:00,984
You know, 'cause
it's so ﬂavorful and simple.

146
00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:03,487
It's really a simple, everyday meal.

147
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:05,864
In the army,
we had red beans...

148
00:15:05,947 --> 00:15:09,326
but it was like a vegetable
dished on the side, you know.

149
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:13,371
It had no seasoning or anything.
It was just boiled beans, you know.

150
00:15:13,455 --> 00:15:16,708
It just happened to be one week
we had bivouac...

151
00:15:16,791 --> 00:15:19,002
had to stay at headquarters company
that week.

152
00:15:19,085 --> 00:15:20,587
I didn't get to go out.

153
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:24,132
So I had to cook
for the headquarters people...

154
00:15:24,216 --> 00:15:26,760
and we run out of rations -
there wasn't no rations.

155
00:15:26,843 --> 00:15:30,263
All they had left
was beans and ham...

156
00:15:30,347 --> 00:15:32,140
and rice.

157
00:15:32,224 --> 00:15:34,309
So that's what I fixed -
beans, ham and rice.

158
00:15:34,392 --> 00:15:37,437
And, you know,
it went all over the base, you know...

159
00:15:37,521 --> 00:15:39,523
how the beans and rice tasted,
you know.

160
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:43,944
So now it's a part of the menu
in the service.

161
00:15:44,027 --> 00:15:46,488
Put one whole green pepper...

162
00:15:46,571 --> 00:15:48,448
at least four or five cloves of garlic...

163
00:15:48,532 --> 00:15:52,702
and take three celery stalks,
the long ones, and finely chop it.

164
00:15:52,786 --> 00:15:56,331
If you chop it real fine, it'll cook all up in it.
You won't even know it's in there.

165
00:15:56,414 --> 00:15:59,834
And your onions.
Everything goes in at the same time.

166
00:15:59,918 --> 00:16:02,879
And some people say
put a bay leaf in it, you know...

167
00:16:02,963 --> 00:16:04,756
or add a teaspoon of sugar.

168
00:16:04,839 --> 00:16:07,968
I don't put the sugar, and every now
and then I think about the bay leaf.

169
00:16:08,051 --> 00:16:09,469
I might throw it in there
and I might not.

170
00:16:09,553 --> 00:16:11,471
Depends on what
I'm thinkin' about that day.

171
00:16:11,555 --> 00:16:14,349
But, you know, you cook 'em slow.
The slower you cook 'em-

172
00:16:14,432 --> 00:16:17,477
Get 'em to boiling first
and then turn the fire down...

173
00:16:17,561 --> 00:16:20,605
and cook 'em at medium heat...

174
00:16:20,689 --> 00:16:23,400
and you'll get a gorgeous pot of beans
like I had yesterday.

175
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:25,777
And he turned 'em on
and burned 'em!

176
00:16:27,862 --> 00:16:30,198
I went back to sleep, I think.

This here, the live ones
will fall into the baskets...

200
00:18:25,021 --> 00:18:26,731
and the dead ones will stay.

201
00:18:26,815 --> 00:18:29,234
And this process is to separate...

202
00:18:29,317 --> 00:18:30,777
the live crawfish
from the dead crawfish?

203
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,904
The live crawfish from the dead.

204
00:18:41,204 --> 00:18:43,206
This here's crab boil.

205
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:48,253
Now, I'm going to
the cayenne pepper...

206
00:18:48,336 --> 00:18:51,631
which makes the crawfish
have the pepperish taste.

207
00:19:03,435 --> 00:19:05,061
All right, everything that I put in here...

208
00:19:05,145 --> 00:19:10,316
is the salt, garlic,
the crab boil, cayenne pepper...

209
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,236
and then I'm gonna put
some Louisiana hot sauce.

210
00:19:19,534 --> 00:19:21,953
This here's Louisiana hot sauce.

211
00:19:22,036 --> 00:19:25,540
This also gives a tang to it,
a pepperish taste.

212
00:19:51,191 --> 00:19:54,486
See, a lot of people,
when they go to eat crawfish -

213
00:19:54,569 --> 00:19:59,115
The proper way to do it, you put it
underneath your tongue with your teeth...

214
00:20:00,283 --> 00:20:02,285
you squeeze and pull out.

215
00:20:04,913 --> 00:20:06,915
Then you suck the heads.

216
00:20:06,998 --> 00:20:11,544
But a lot of people that would eat crawfish
that's not too familiar with it...

217
00:20:11,628 --> 00:20:15,298
they would break it,
then have to peel it...

218
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:17,884
then turn it around like that,
then squeeze...

219
00:20:17,967 --> 00:20:20,345
and then pull it out with their fingers.

220
00:20:20,428 --> 00:20:23,097
Other words,
if we we're out eatin' - us -

221
00:20:23,181 --> 00:20:27,018
I could eat maybe four to five
crawfish to maybe y'all one...

222
00:20:27,101 --> 00:20:29,562
if a person didn't know
how to eat it proper.

223
00:20:29,646 --> 00:20:31,689
And then naturally you squeeze...

224
00:20:33,316 --> 00:20:35,068
and you get the juice out...

225
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:38,446
which is the seasoning
that just came from soaking.

226
00:20:38,530 --> 00:20:41,157
And that's the proper way
of eating a crawfish.

227
00:20:41,783 --> 00:20:46,621
Here's to John, the best crawfish boiler
this side of the river.

228
00:20:47,497 --> 00:20:50,416
Here's to John, one of
the neighborhoods best friends.

229
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:54,254
Doesn't matter how you cut it. He was a great
guy and his son's a chip off the block.

Yeah! What's going on?

234
00:22:54,165 --> 00:22:58,211
Down here they got
a Saint Patrick's Day celebration goin'.

235
00:22:59,629 --> 00:23:01,714
This is one of the only cities
in the world...

236
00:23:01,798 --> 00:23:04,550
that you can do
what you're doing here.

237
00:23:04,634 --> 00:23:09,347
Drink beer out in the street,
throw the cans on the sidewalk.

238
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:11,683
It's one of the greatest places
in the world.

239
00:23:12,684 --> 00:23:15,311
They call it
“The City That Care Forgot.”

240
00:23:15,395 --> 00:23:19,399
lt's probably the last place in America
that you can feel -

241
00:23:19,482 --> 00:23:22,485
well, just sort of free to live, you know.

242

It's a good-time town.

00:24:54,577 --> 00:24:55,953
And you celebrate your holidays -

245
00:24:56,037 --> 00:24:59,832
You celebrate more holidays in New Orleans
than you celebrate anywhere.

246
00:24:59,916 --> 00:25:02,668
You celebrate Saint Patrick's Day,
Saint Joseph's.

247
00:25:02,752 --> 00:25:04,587
Two weeks up until Mardi Gras Day...

248
00:25:04,670 --> 00:25:08,549
it builds up into something,
you'd think you was in Brazil.

249
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:10,259
The businesses still going on...

250
00:25:10,343 --> 00:25:12,470

and havin' a ball.

Mardi Gras
cannot be a spectator sport.

263
00:26:07,608 --> 00:26:09,819
You can't come
and watch Mardi Gras.

264
00:26:09,902 --> 00:26:13,948
You either come and do Mardi Gras
or you lose out.

265
00:26:14,031 --> 00:26:16,742
The thing started
when the Christian church decided...

266
00:26:16,826 --> 00:26:19,620
it needed to -

267
00:26:19,704 --> 00:26:22,248
to base its holidays on...

268
00:26:22,331 --> 00:26:25,126
the existing celebrations...

269
00:26:25,209 --> 00:26:27,336
uh, those things...

270
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:29,589
they considered pagan.

271
00:26:29,672 --> 00:26:31,841
So - To get the people -

272
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:34,260
Since they were celebrating already,
if they made them the holy days...

273
00:26:34,343 --> 00:26:37,180
then they would be <i>their</i> holy days.

274
00:26:37,263 --> 00:26:40,808
So... Mardi Gras...

275
00:26:40,892 --> 00:26:43,394
is the last chance to blow it off...

276
00:26:43,477 --> 00:26:47,106
before you have to
start doing without...

277
00:26:47,190 --> 00:26:50,610
to make yourself pure enough
to celebrate the death of Christ -

278
00:26:50,693 --> 00:26:54,280
the <i>birth</i> of Christ - the death of Christ -
whichever those are.

279
00:26:54,363 --> 00:26:58,075
But the concept of
having to have a lustful time...

280
00:26:58,159 --> 00:27:00,453
and then the time without...

281
00:27:00,536 --> 00:27:03,372
uh, is where it came from.

282
00:27:04,332 --> 00:27:06,042
To do that...

283
00:27:06,125 --> 00:27:08,002
respectable people
couldn't be lustful...

284
00:27:08,085 --> 00:27:10,254
so you have to mask.

285
00:27:10,338 --> 00:27:12,840
You have to put on a false front...

286
00:27:12,924 --> 00:27:14,967
in order to be...

287
00:27:15,051 --> 00:27:17,303
who you want to be anyway...

288
00:27:17,386 --> 00:27:20,348
uh, before the real false front -

289
00:27:20,431 --> 00:27:22,642
Of giving up everything
and being pure comes along.

290
00:27:22,725 --> 00:27:24,769
- Beautiful!
- Whoo!

291
00:27:24,852 --> 00:27:26,771
- Hey, hey!
- Whoo!

292
00:27:26,854 --> 00:27:27,980
Whoo!

293
00:27:28,064 --> 00:27:31,192
If you wants to be white today,
you can be white today.

294
00:27:31,275 --> 00:27:32,985
Yeah!

295
00:27:33,069 --> 00:27:36,447
- What do you want to be today?
- White today!

296
00:27:36,530 --> 00:27:38,824
We gonna be Kunta Kinte,
you understand!

297
00:27:38,908 --> 00:27:43,287
Nah! Superman! Batman! Robin Hood!
You can be anything you want to be today.

347
00:32:35,746 --> 00:32:39,041
Here you're working
with these beautiful colors...

348
00:32:39,124 --> 00:32:42,503
colors that you like, you know.

349
00:32:42,586 --> 00:32:47,174
Then you're combining these colors
to form and design.

350
00:32:47,258 --> 00:32:50,970
And this design is gonna
represent something, you know...

351
00:32:51,053 --> 00:32:55,182
that's gonna be something said
in the whole pan of you, you know.

352
00:32:55,266 --> 00:32:59,144
And then you'll have many of these,
maybe, in different parts...

353
00:32:59,228 --> 00:33:02,648
some for your vest,
some for your chest piece...

354
00:33:02,731 --> 00:33:06,652
some for your front apron,
some for your back apron...

355
00:33:06,735 --> 00:33:10,531
some on your armband,
some into your head crown.

356
00:33:10,614 --> 00:33:14,326
And each one of them
saying something different.

357
00:33:14,410 --> 00:33:16,954
Or relative in design, you know...

358
00:33:17,037 --> 00:33:22,001
like patches of assimilation
for both sides to balance on.

359
00:33:22,084 --> 00:33:25,838
And here's something done
stitch by stitch.

360
00:33:25,921 --> 00:33:28,424
Thousands upon
hundreds of thousands of stitches...

361
00:33:28,507 --> 00:33:31,385
are made to perform this.

362
00:33:31,468 --> 00:33:34,305
No one goes to school to learn this.

363
00:33:34,388 --> 00:33:37,975
This is something you just have
to automatically pick up...

364
00:33:38,058 --> 00:33:40,311
like somebody beating a drum
with a stick -

365
00:33:40,394 --> 00:33:42,479
boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

366
00:33:42,563 --> 00:33:44,523
No one tells you. You just feel it.

367
00:33:44,607 --> 00:33:48,777
It all comes from one thing -
your wanting to do it.

The closer it gets to Carnival,
the more it costs.

373
00:34:00,873 --> 00:34:04,209
We have this trouble every year.

374
00:34:04,293 --> 00:34:08,005
The last minute.
And then I have to run all over town.

375
00:34:08,088 --> 00:34:11,133
I'm supposed to be workin',
I gotta be running all over town...

376
00:34:11,216 --> 00:34:13,052
trying to find accessories.

377
00:34:13,135 --> 00:34:16,555
Right. And each year it's the same thing.
“Oh, <i>we'll</i> do better next year.”

378
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:20,559
Start off right after Carnival,
you know, right after Carnival...

379
00:34:20,643 --> 00:34:24,772
but then fall through along the way,
and at the last minute here we go.

380
00:34:24,855 --> 00:34:27,650
I burn up about $40 worth of gas...

381
00:34:27,733 --> 00:34:32,029
running from Jefferson Parish to Saint
Bernard Parish, all across the river.

382
00:34:32,112 --> 00:34:34,865
What's involved in being the queen?

383
00:34:35,949 --> 00:34:38,577
Oh, it's a - a lot of things, man.

384
00:34:38,661 --> 00:34:40,245
You know, like -

385
00:34:40,329 --> 00:34:42,956
lt's like taking on...

386
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,584
this thing you have to do.

387
00:34:45,668 --> 00:34:49,171
But practicing every day
like you see here...

388
00:34:49,254 --> 00:34:51,340
and... just having fun.

389

What'd they used to do in the old days?

00:43:49,211 --> 00:43:51,671
Well, some of the same things,
but it wasn't quite as -

496
00:43:51,755 --> 00:43:54,799
Not too much - Actually,
not too much different you can say.

497
00:43:54,883 --> 00:43:57,427
They're just more -
They're just more modern today.

What kind of action did they used to have?

500
00:44:01,431 --> 00:44:05,685

Can you tell us?

503
00:44:09,439 --> 00:44:12,692
You know, they used to
shoot at one another...

504
00:44:12,776 --> 00:44:16,029
and hit one another with knives
and hatchets and all that stuff.

505
00:44:16,112 --> 00:44:20,700
You know that. Why don't you tell it like it is?
That's been about 30 years ago.

506
00:44:20,784 --> 00:44:22,369
How come it changed?

507
00:44:22,452 --> 00:44:25,038
I don't know. The law got behind it,
so it had to change.

508
00:44:25,121 --> 00:44:27,415
- Misusin' one another like that.

and pleasure club, a marching club...

613
00:53:10,396 --> 00:53:14,734
that was organized August 13, 1928...

614
00:53:14,817 --> 00:53:18,446
in the upper Irish Channel
of New Orleans.

615
00:53:18,529 --> 00:53:19,781
Well, today we're out here...

616
00:53:19,864 --> 00:53:22,867
with the Wild Tchoupitoulas,
you understand, as their guests.

617
00:53:22,950 --> 00:53:24,368
But our annual parade...

618
00:53:24,452 --> 00:53:26,662
is the second Sunday in August
each and every year.

619
00:53:26,746 --> 00:53:29,707
They have various social and pleasure clubs
throughout New Orleans...

620
00:53:29,791 --> 00:53:33,711
and each one of them parades
on individual Sundays, you know...

621
00:53:33,795 --> 00:53:35,713
usually in the summer months.

622
00:53:35,797 --> 00:53:37,715
Well, we aid -

623
00:53:37,799 --> 00:53:40,343
You know, I mean,
do a little benefit, things like this...

624
00:53:40,426 --> 00:53:45,056
and give to the Sickle Cell Foundation
and United Fund and other things...

625
00:53:45,139 --> 00:53:47,058
pick up money
especially for this purpose.

626
00:53:47,141 --> 00:53:52,188
But mainly our concern is to entertain
our own selves, you understand?
