Two Way Pocky Way

Even those of us who do not participate in Mardi Gras look forward to the Mardi Gras music season. From classics like "Iko Iko" and "Carnival Time" to Mardi Gras Indian music ("Handa Wanda" is the best known) to the new second line hip hop songs, there's something for everyone. Dr. John, the Wild Tchoupitoulas, and Professor Longhair take over the airwaves each year. For the last few years, my favorite song has been "Indian Princess" by J. Monque'D and the Creole Wild West Mardi Gras Indians. The best Mardi Gras music is on WWOZ, and you can listen to it on the Internet to your heart's content.
