This weekend, New Orleans celebrated the 200th anniversary of Treme, the oldest African-American neighborhood in the United States. To quote the Meters:

Little bitty boy, with a heart of steel
You can't boogie now, but your sister sure will
Feel good music, I've been told
Good for your body, and it's good for your soul
Gonna do it now

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Pocky Way
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, Pocky Way

Kid looks GREAT. But I sorry, there's no way his feet are that big.

    Cute, the outfits are great! You could use a little help in the area of singing though, just kidding.
