The Preservation Hall Jazz Band

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band also appeared with The Blind Boys when I saw them earlier this month.

Here is a short documentary about the history of the band.



Here is a video of "Down In Honky Tonk Town" from 1973.



Since they are from New Orleans it is only appropriate to include this video of "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?"



Here are both The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and The Bind Boys of Alabama with "Down By The Riverside".
