Last Friday I uploaded part one of my interview with Mary Burns, an outgoing and energetic woman who used to be a catholic school teacher in New Orleans. These days she teaches dancing to zydeco music.
She had so many stories to tell that I figured the best option was to break up my interview with her into two parts. The first, which you can read by clicking on this link, focused on her life as a school teacher.
In today’s second part, Mary describes how she first got into zydeco dancing. And she shares other important tales, including her experiences during Hurricane Katrina, and her time as a budding amateur actress.
As an added bonus, today’s article features two videos. One of them shows off Mary’s dancing skills. The other features me trying my first ever raw oyster. Click here, or on the picture above, to find out more.
