Pat O'brian's Hurricane
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We decided to take a walk down Bourbon Street, which was a few blocks south of where we were staying. Down off of Bourbon Street we went to Pat O’Brian’s Bar, home of the world famous Hurricane, which they serve to you in a glass you get to keep. Sheryl Ann liked the glass and said, "How nice if I could collect a set of six," and she took to drinking and ordering Hurricane after Hurricane so she could keep the glasses. Later we learned she could have bought the glasses empty, but Sheryl Ann said, "It was more fun this way". From there it was down to Al Hirt’s Jazz Club, although Sheryl Ann was having trouble walking by then, where we listened to a New Orleans style music performance. Wouldn’t you know that Sheryl Ann would take to the stage and jump up on top of the piano and start singing, "I’m The Last of The Red Hot Mamas" and "Makin’ Whoopie" and then do the bump and grind with the saxophone player. Even though Sheryl Ann is not a born singer, everybody clapped and whistled and yelled, "Encore! Encore!" but by then Sheryl Ann was in no shape to sing. We called a cab, and the cab driver had to carry Sheryl Ann out to the car over his shoulder, while she kept on singing, "I Enjoy Being A Girl".
When I told the driver where we were going he asked us if we were "some of Lu Lu’s working girls". I said, no, we were here on vacation, and he said, "Damn! I like ‘em old and spunky!" When we got in Sheryl Ann was still snoozing so the driver carried her in and Lu Lu said, "Hi, Bill, I haven’t seen you for awhile. How are the wife and kids?" He said, "Fine, Lu Lu. The wife’s going out of town next week. I’ll have to stop by." Some of Lu Lu’s girls and I stayed up watching a movie on television, although several of them kept excusing themself to go and help gentlemen, who kept arriving all through the night, with their grammer and punctuation.
