DMCubing | Happy 2018 Mardi Gras [Music Video] (Non-cubing related) @dmcubing6342 | Uploaded January 2018 | Updated October 2024, 9 minutes ago.
Totally non-cubing related. (Skip over if you don't like jazz music or don't want to see me play my trumpet!).

In New Orleans, second line parades start with the sound from a lone trumpet. He signals three times- often there's a response from the crowd to each of his three signals. Then the music starts! The festivities begin! The parade rolls! It's Mardi Gras time! Laissez les bons temps roule!

Here's my take on the second line standard, "Joe Avery's Blues" to usher in the start of Mardi Gras 2018 here in Louisiana!

Happy Mardi Gras to all my subscribers!

You may have heard a small segment of this before, since I use a tiny excerpt for the intro music to my cubing videos! ;-) Here's the entire tune. I think I posted it before to my cubing channel last February, but I've quite a few more new subs since then.
What's nice about living in Louisiana is there really isn't much of a break between Christmas and Mardi Gras season. It seems one flows right into the other. As a matter of fact, some people keep their Christmas trees out and change the decorations to purple, green, and gold colors, the colors of Mardi Gras! We even have purple, green, and gold wreathes we hang on our doors and windows! :-)

Here's my buddy, Wynton Marsalis teaching the tune to school children in Africa: youtu.be/rMsbbMwMVQY
