Markantney from BiloxeSep 2016, Though I'm waaaay more R&B than Folk-Rock, Country-Rock, whatever the category for this great song is but when I first heard it on TV or the radio, late 70s, even I knew it was a hit.She was from the band,”Chunky, Novi & Ernie!

There are only a few places that locals go to, and Bourbon St is all Karaoke Bars and other overpriced tourist joints. Sadly, the Quarter isn't like it used to be. If you missed it, you had to party for another hour before you could catch the next one. Fun fact, it only runs hourly after midnight. I used to "take that Streetcar that's going Uptown" after a long night in the Quarter. Back then, locals still hung out in the Quarter The references to Honky Tonks, Dixieland Jazz, and the Streetcar are all about New Orleans and the French Quarter during that time period. I heard an interview with a band member, who referenced partying in the French Quarter, and living the Southern (really New Orleans) life and staying out late (buying everyone drinks, all night long) Toulouse Street is in the Quarter as well.
