Speak Your Piece
My Aunt Kane lived on St Roch in the 40s, 50s and 60s. She died at Hotel Dieu in 1969.
I remember her giving me a 5 dollar bill, sending me to the grocery store down the street at the corner, with a list.
The man behind the counter always said... you Kanes lil boy from the country aren't you sweet.
Yes Sir was always my reply.
He then would joke about whether to send my Uncle Bob either hot Dixie or Cold Dixie... I would pack the groceries in a big brown sack in one hand, the other I would carry the Cold Dixie..I was 11 years old at the time.
So goes Louisiana so many moons ago....
Life was simple.... Cold Dixie
Nice ...
