New Orleans: Dance in the Heat
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - On Oak Street, the electricity is out and shop windows are still boarded up, but the bluesy guitar riffs blasting out of the Maple Leaf club can signal only one thing.
Wolfman has returned to his favorite haunt.
Walter Washington, aka Wolfman, his electric guitar powered by generators outside the Maple Leaf, welcomed back the residents streaming into the Uptown district of the storm-shattered city on Friday night, returning to the stage where he has performed for 23 years.
"Rock and roll, man, it's back on!" shouted Maple Leaf patron and local resident Scott Clark, 41, as he danced out of the club's front door.
