Since being in New Orleans I have heard a lot of jazz, at least that is what I believe it is, being played on the streets or in businesses. Musicians are usually playing a brass instrument or guitar. New Orleans is said to be the birthplace of jazz and really all music I believe. On the music tour, he talked about jazz, and rock and roll originating in New Orleans. Music is so important in New Orleans because it is a huge part of their history and culture and has shaped American music since what we hear today started in Congo Square with the slaves. How the city spoke to me through its music is music is apart of our history and our culture and we can learn so much by listening to different music. What I found most interesting about Treme is that it is the oldest African American neighbor hood and the many famous musician who have played there. My favorite part of the Pharmaceutical museum was everything. I really enjoyed this tour most so far and the information was very enjoyable to listen to. I really enjoyed hearing the change of practices throughout time, such as the change in how syringes were made, and the change in how pills were made. I also enjoyed the tour guides sarcasm about everything. When he was explaining how medical profession became accredited back then it was very funny. It was also very interesting learning about the voodoo medicine and how people back then did not want anyone to know they were buying it. I really enjoyed this tour and thought it was very informative.
