Aaron Neville, the centerpiece of the outfit

I love Aaron Neville, and I especially love his song, "Song of Bernadette."

by Raymond Arroyo

New Orleans. Wet bodies press close in the pit. Their faces red from the daylong parades, the tourists have come to usher in Mardi Gras with New Orleans musical royalty. Like the mosquitoes outside thirsting for a fresh taste of life, the drunk, the sober, and the merely tipsy crowd the House of Blues stage. It is midnight, and the Neville Brothers—Art, Charles, Aaron, and Cyril—are running through a brand of New Orleans funk, zydeco, jazz, soul, rhythm-and-blues fusion uniquely their own. If the city had a soundtrack, it would sound like this. The whole creaky wooden room is caught in the city’s primal rhythm. They clap, they writhe, they pound the railings. A security guard in the corner of the room grooves all by his lonesome.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
