The Muhammad Ali of the Musical Goblets.

The Edmunds were fortunate enough to score a day off during a very busy tour schedule while in New Orleans on March 9th. We stopped by the Gumbo Shop for dinner and enjoyed some jambalaya, Chicken Gumbo and Crawfish etouffee…it was a little slice of cajan heaven! After dinner we decided to walk  over to Cafe Du Monde for some beignets. During our stroll we happened upon a man standing behind a table filled with wine glasses with varying levels of water in them. This interesting character would wet his fingers and spin them around the edges of the different glasses to create tones and tunes for our listening pleasure. He would ask everyone for requests, one person asked for a Lil Wayne song and it didn’t come as a shock when he said he didn’t know that particular song. He did play Georgia On My Mind for us native Georgians. I never caught his name but he was great at the musical goblets….Rock on Goblet man, rock on.
