B.B. St. Roman’s house on Burgundy St. in the French Quarter of New Orleans was just as I’d left it last winter, and her welcome just as warm. But I was running late. Some months past, an audio documentary company called “Everything Is Stories” had contacted me for an interview and it was ultimately decided we’d meet here. I’d told Mike that, with B.B.’s fascinating history and the fact that she’s now the city’s surrogate Mother Teresa, he might also wanna grab an interview with her while in town. Upon hearing my description of this eccentric woman he’d readily agreed.
Tomorrow the interviewing process would begin.
The following morning it was at house rented for three days that we met Mike’s crew. Although I’d expected a more Mickey Mouse outfit of possibly young dudes with cell phone video that did YouTube stuff, these guys were not like that at all. They’d rented the house in advance then flown in from New York and Mississippi with a butt-load of nice equipment. And although they do audio, a lot of footage and photos were also shot in a nearby park. It was fun few days of working with them.

Last year I’d promised to return and re-roof B.B.’s leaky house. Since then she’d acquired the funds and so I was back. Still, with so much of my bike’s fiberglass still busted and duct taped from the recent accident in Colorado, I hoped to attend that first. Since B.B. was in no hurry, the decision was made.
