Quotes by Aaron Wilkinson

“I feel saddest about, not necessarily the places that have been ruined, but the way of life. New Orleans is like no where else. People live for the music. People live for the moment. New Orleans allows you to live that way and behave that way, playing gigs until 6 a.m. any night of the week. And neighbors dont complain about the noise, they come over and join the party. Im wondering if its ever going to get back to that.”

“The biggest challenge is figuring out how to get gear together and keep working. Its more about the stuff thats irreplaceable, like the master recordings. Its hard to book gigs with no promotional material. Its very complex. I imagine its that way for every walk of life. Theres just so many far reaching effects from something like this.”

“People come up to you with tears in their eyes wanting to take you into their house.”
