Why do I love New Orleans?

Why do I love New Orleans? people are always asking me that, especially when they notice my accent, well, just now the Treme brass band was on the local news, playing local music, twirling their fancy umbrella and waving their signature white handkerchief. when I am not in New Orleans I miss the music, which seems to be in the air down here. And let us not forget the food, the best in the world, and I believe I am an expert on that topic.
