Madame John’s Legacy is a house in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. The name is taken from a story by George Washington Cable.[2] The house was built in 1788, after a fire destroyed much of the neighborhood. The house was rebuilt in the older French colonial style, rather than the then current Spanish style.

The housefront was used in the funeral scene in the 1994 film ‘Interview With The vampire’ after Lestat and Claudia take the family in the house as their victims.

Scott Bradlee and the Postmodern Jukebox – “Sweet Child O’ Mine” – New Orleans Style Guns N’ Roses Cover ft. Miche Braden

by ScottBradleeLovesYa

As featured in “What’s on Your New Year’s Eve Playlist?”

Taking the Guns & Roses classic, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and rearranging it into New Orleans jazz style Mardis Gras anthem is a stroke of genius! Having the remarkable Miche Braden belt out the lyrics doesn’t hurt.

Guns and Who?

Seriously. Ms Braden is fantastic!

FYI, Miche Braden played Bessie Smith in the Broadway biopic, “The Devil’s Music: The Life & Blues of Bessie Smith”
