HERMAN's "Roux". LOUISIANA STORIES Launch-Party #2. HERMAN LEBEAUX: "At some point, as Allen Toussaint would say, Serendipity stepped in ... The whole thing just blended together."

Herman LeBeaux, Drums-Set and Sound-Scapes for Rivers Answer Moons, speaks about the how the LOUISIANA STORIES' opening two Tracks grew.

Let’s hear, first, those opening Tracks, “Louisiana Days, Louisiana Nights” and “The Bands Are Bringing Everyone Home”, before we catch Herman’s Flow of Insights.

“The Bands Are Bringing Everyone Homes”

Herman Lebeaux, very gifted and explorartory, Drums-Set and Sound-Scapes for the vessel DPRAM (Don Paul and Rivers Answer Moons) talks about the "Roux” that arose and blended from ROGER LEWIS’ announcing and the subsequent atmospheric “Pulse” and KIRK JOSEPH’s “Groove” and then Herman’s responding Beats and the “Lyrics’ Story” and—thorughout—DON VAPPIE’s “spices” of Rhythmis and Harmonies.
