Right now, I'd like to commend HBO's Treme, which gets New Orleans about 85- 90% right, a very good average in my book. Little by Little regulars may have recognized our friend Irving Banister's son, Honey, in one episode playing a drummer in a Mardi Gras Indian band. Not to slight Honey's (billed as Irving Banister, Jr. in the credits) acting ability, but since he is the TOP Indian drummer, let's just put it down to great casting. My two favorite characters are Antoine Batiste, played by Wendall Pierce, the frustrated musician forced to negotiate all his cab fares and, of course, America's greatest character actor, the Thomas Mitchell of our time, John Goodman as Crieghton Bernette.
Next thing you know, we'll be seeing the Freeland- Archers traipsing through Treme. It's only a matter of time.

Bunk's playing a musician! We'll have to having a watching party once it comes out on DVD--after 'Once Upon A Time in America'.
I still haven't made it through disc II of "Once Upon a Time...."
