New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival '04
Immediately before going on stage at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, May 2004, the band learns that friend and jazz fest perennial Daniel Breaux (fabulous artist and carpenter, beautiful dancer) had been murdered the night before. The only thing to do then is to play "Amazing Grace" to begin the set. As banjoman Patrick Mackey sings, Ben and Genevieve grieve.
