Today, May 7th, is the traditional date marking the founding of New Orleans. Now two years after celebrating its tricentennial, the city is under statewide social distancing rules. Despite that, let's mark the occasion with songs about the Crescent City. Share your favorites and we'll spin a set after 9am.

Here's what we played:

Snakefarm "Rising Sun"

David Bromberg "Mr. Bojangles"

Lucinda Williams "Crescent City"

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts "New Orleans"
