St. Louis Cathedral Concert

           

 Day three in New Orleans we attended a concert at the St. Louis cathedral. It was performed by Lena Prima, daughter of the late Louis Prima. The show was Christmas New Orleans Style. She performed a number of the general Christmas songs as well as some of the Christmas songs her father wrote during his life. While I am not personally a big fan of Christmas music what so ever, I do have to admit she sang the songs beautifully. I do think that the more jazzy Christmas songs were y favorite because the typical Christmas songs are so overplayed on the radios during the holidays. Not only was her voice lovely but the cathedral was absolutely gorgeous. All the detail in the murals on the ceiling was stunning and eye catching. I would personally love to lay down in the middle of the cathedral floor and just stare up at the ceiling for some time and enjoy the detailed work. I was amazed at the turnout of people that attended the concert. Overall, I enjoyed the concert and can now say that I heard live Christmas jazz and the famous Louis Prima’s daughter sings.
