We owe them a lot. What would New Orleans be without the music. They were passionate about the music and offered a place for the musicians to play and earn money. It wasn’t long after that the Preservation Hall Jazz band gained notoriety and began playing worldwide.

It has always inspired. The building itself …. the music …. the musicians….…..inspirational.
