It's a truly sad day in New Orleans this Tuesday, but also a time to celebrate the life and music of one of the City's legends...Miss Marva Wright. Today's blog is dedicated to her soul as a person and her soulful voice we all loved so much.
If you can't make her memorial service today - take some time to listen to some of her wonderful music - she will be remembered always. (Here's a link to to Miss Marva's site - so you can listen in and please take the time to read her eulogy by Times-Picayune writer, Keith Spera.)
