Back in August 2009 I had an enjoyable lunch interview with Buzzy “Beano” Langford, guitarist with New Orleans-based cover band The Topcats. Over a three-course meal at the excellent Bayona he told me about life in a city famed for its musicians.
Cut to the present day and it seems that Buzzy and the Topcats are still going strong. According to the calendar of upcoming shows on the band’s website, they’ll be playing several gigs in the Big Easy in June and July — including an annual Beatles festival next month that I didn’t even know the city held. Should you find yourself in the Crescent City, you might want to consider catching one of their performances.
