Kermit Ruffins shares his journey from being an aspiring member of brass bands from New Orleans to becoming a songwriter for Disney's Jungle Book and a jazz trumpeter jamming with Jon Batiste. On the other hand, discussing the elegant facilities and unparalleled service of The Windsor Court is its General Manager, Ralph Mahana. For the top 10 bucket list, Andy McNeill and Todd Bludworth explore the cuisine, culture, and even the drag queens deep in the heart of New Orleans.
