Tune in and follow his journey through the decades from Florida to California, Alaska to Washington, Wyoming, Texas, and Oregon! From electric raves to getting stabbed to working strip clubs. You will enjoy this one.

It’s a rare look at a job most of us only ever see from the outside.

From Bentonia to Wisconsin.

When I traveled to Bentonia, Mississippi for the 77th anniversary of the Blue Front Café, the oldest juke joint in Mississippi, I went to document a place and the people who gather there. What I didn’t expect was to be handed a recipe with full Southern soul and heart.

At the Blue Front, Cathy and Genevieve generously shared how they make their shrimp & grits. It wasn’t written down. And Larry, who has created such a special meeting place at the festivals, they have dedicated a special tree to him with a sign reading “Larry’s Tribe.”

I carried that recipe home with me and cooked it for the first time in Wisconsin in my parents’ kitchen, for the Christmas holiday, bringing a little bit of Southern soul and hospitality to the Midwest.

This story is about how food travels, and how music, meals, and kindness cross state lines.

I shared the full story here if you’d like to watch.

This is a story that must be shared, especially at Christmas.
I recently met a woman from Venezuela who told me her journey — a journey filled with loss, courage, and unimaginable strength.
It reminded me how we pass people every day not knowing what they’re carrying and what they have endured.
This channel exists for stories like hers — and for the silent voices we may never otherwise hear.
If you feel moved, I hope you’ll watch, share, and hold her story with the care it deserves. 🤍

I never imagined this seed of an idea, which started in my living room, would lead me to meeting and interviewing the last living Bentonia Blues legend, Jimmy Duck Holmes, and being interviewed on WWOZ, the iconic New Orleans Radio station. It heralds the power of connection and being open to the magic all around us. Here’s the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0LzzyiBJ_w&t=65s. Link is also clickable in my bio.

Inicidentally, I reached a new goal of 700 subscribers. THANK YOU to all who have supported me on this journey. It means so much to me and has opened my world exponentially. If you would like to join the magic, I will put the link to subscribe in the comments.

Meet Riccardo Ferrini, Blues musician from Italy, busking in the French Quarter in New Orleans.

I had the original opportunity to meet Riccardo when he was playing at the Blue Front Cafe 77th anniversary in Bentonia, MS, and was thrilled to find him again in New Orleans. He is an INCREDIBLE slide guitarist, EXTREMELY kind, and the KING OF COOL! Fortunate to know Riccardo and call him my friend.
Although Riccardo is currently back on tour in Europe with Gloria and the Doctor, he will be back in the US this coming spring. Follow him Instagram: . To watch this video go to YouTube and find my channel, "A Little Bit of Magic" Link to it is in my Bio on IG.

A little behind the scenes magic at WWOZ 90.7 FM New Orleans. What a thrilling experience yo be interviewed on this legendary station in a city I love so much.

By the way, Ol’ Man River reports a significant reduction in back pain after our on-the-air acupuncture session! Link to both interviews in comments below.

It's no secret, New Orleans has long held a special place in my heart. I always said if I lived there, I would become deeply ingrained in the culture and fabric of that city. So to be invited to be interviewed by Ol' Man River on WWOZ Radio, the Voice of New Orleans, and to be ingratiated into the community and to make so many new connections without actually living there is like a true dream come true.

The interview aired last Sunday, but you can still watch it on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT_Ui_c6aBU&t=248s You can also catch it on the archives on the WWOZ app under Ol' Man River show Nov. 9. It is a fantastic, fully listener-supported radio station. If you are interested in watching my previous interview, where I tour their gorgeous station overlooking the Mississippi River, located on the top floor of the historic Jax Brewery, I have put the link to watch in the comments below.

A special thank you to my friend Mark Butler who opened the door and made this connection and interview possible, and to Ol' Man River (Bob Rodrigue) and and the entire WWOZ family for welcoming me into their studio and sharing their time, stories, and extraordinary energy.

In this special interview on WWOZ Radio in New Orleans, Dr. Sarah Allen explains how Chinese medicine heals the body and mind through meridians, Qi, acupunct...
