This story has me thinking about my first time #WalkingDownRoyal as a teenager. I had seen #buskers many times before in #JacksonSquare but the vibes on Royal were just different. As a kid from the suburbs of the suburbs, it felt like I was really discovering #NOLA for the first time.

And as a kid who was exploring my own musical talents, it was very inspiring to see these rag tag groups of musicians having the time of their life playing right there on the street. Music for music’s sake. Pure.
