New Orleans Tour Guide Stories: Storyville, Jazz, and Louis Armstrong

Facebook Live presentation in which I talk about Storyville, the notorious red-light district of New Orleans, the distinct musical genre that grew out of it, and New Orleans' most famous son, Louis Armstrong.

What a great presentation. I am a photographer and I spend a great deal of time photographing New Orleans. I have always been fascinated by Storyville, both wandering the streets and flying my drone over the area, looking for some evidence that remains. I really enjoyed this presentation and the old photographs. Thank you.

Thanks for the fabulous insight and historical context. Just walked the Storyville district today on the first visit to NOLA. Took in Eagle Saloon and Congo Square as a pilgrimage. Hope the tours have opened up for you again. I'll be sure to look up your services next run through. Cheers!

Great content! I love New Orleans! In fact, I would love to live there. I’ve visited twice and hope to visit again soon. I’m very drawn to it! It has a vibe like none other. Being a tour guide has to be one of the best jobs. I would love it. There’s so much history.🤓

Thank you! It is a great city and, yes, I’m so grateful to be telling the stories every day!

Great information on Jazz. Storyville was known also as the sex area to locate the high class mulato women of mixed ancestry.

One story that you didn't mention but maybe you should have was the late 1910s axe murders in New Orleans (which were never solved) but which touches on the history of jazz music, since there was a letter that the Times-Picayune had received, as signed by an individual who identified themselves as a demon, during the midst of the ongoing crisis, that said that the murderer would strike again on a certain night but was willing to leave any house alone where jazz music was being played (as things turned out there were no murders that night).

[@luckybeantours6787]

Thanks! I may have to do one about the Axe Man soon.

What do you think of the movie,PRETTY BABY ,and how it showed Storyville ?

[@euggiemonad2523]

I liked her the moment she started, but she needs to look at the camera more -- that's us, honey! -- not the screen
