Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for winning Super Bowl XLIV. Everyone in New Orleans and the entire Who Dat Nation will forever remember this moment, which has been a very long time coming. A special thanks to our quarterback, Drew Brees, for being such a first class person both on and off of the field.
After the last two weeks of preparation for the Super Bowl, it has perhaps become cliché to speak of the parallels between the rebirth of this unique city since 2005 and the rebirth of the Saints, but the comparison works because it is true. In fact, my father, an architect and amateur musician, wrote and recorded a song shortly after Hurricane Katrina about the "New, New Orleans." If you are interested in an upbeat, toe-tapping song for your iPhone or iPod that captures the spirit and enthusiasm of this city, which now seems to be at an all-time high, you can download the MP3 for free at this page. My father Bob Richardson is on guitar, Dave Carboni is lead vocal and on
bass, Jason Lohmeyer is on keyboard and Buzzy Beano is on guitar and banjo.
