Album Notes

Two songs written by Jonno after Hurricane Katrina flooded his Gentilly neighborhood in New Orleans. He and his family temporarily relocated to Lafayette, while Jonno continued to play regular gigs in New Orleans with his band, Bayou Deville. Jonno is also a member of Charivari (Rounder Records). He currently works in the New Orleans Recovery School District, as well as continuing to play live gigs, teach workshops, and tour. Jonno and his family have since returned to their home in New Orleans, and the school in Gentilly Terrace is now open...

The two songs were recorded at Word of Mouth Studio in Algiers LA.
